Description
This Water Lilies by Claude Monet was painted in 1897. The Water Lilies painting is actually a series of 250 oil paintings by Monet during a two year period. Fans of Claude Monet never tire of his paintings of water lilies, and for good reason. His versatile takes on the same subject led to distinctive pieces, including “Water Lilies (Pink).” This painting focuses on the lush plants in full bloom, incorporating a number of colors including pink, blue, green, and yellow from top to bottom. At the same time, the reflections in the water are equally striking, and the broad brushstrokes create an incredible feeling of movement and texture throughout the piece. Monet’s ability to see the same subject with fresh eyes is a tribute to his dynamic and unique use of color and light.
