1890, Monet's economic situation was relatively comfortable, which enabled him to buy his rented house and big garden in giverny from 1883.
With great courage and determination, he resolutely rebuilt the garden and joined a big pond.
Since then, this garden has given Monet endless inspiration and has become the core theme of his creative career in the last 30 years.
Monet once explained to a studio visitor, "I spent a lot of time getting to know water lilies. When I first planted it, it was just for fun, and I didn't intend to use it for painting.
Landscape images often take more than one day to be unforgettable.
I found an unexpected surprise in an instant-how wonderful the pond is-and then I started painting.
From that moment on, there were almost no other painting themes.
"
Helena Newman said that Monet's Water Lily series is one of the most iconic painting series in the development of modern art.
Monet no longer painted from a clear perspective, but began to pay attention to elements such as color, texture and environmental effects, and in the process formed a more abstract creative style.
