Monet shows 12 pictures of water lilies at the beginning. After 1904, another 48 images Monet painted water lilies, and there were no bridges. Sometimes the sky was invisible, and the water was very deep and dark. Monet completed his work on the series in September 1908 agreed to display the whole series the following spring in his gallery in Paris. Each of the 48 works bore the same name, Lily, the differences are articulated in the sound, color and form as content. The exhibition was a great success. In his last years, Monet’s vision had deteriorated. Cataracts caused almost blind, but he insisted in his paintings. The colors are also included in this transformation of space, because Monet’s palette changed without the contrast of colors, not a reflection of stroke. Large, nearly black and white liquid zones close to each other in the chromatic scale, blue or green, white, sometimes with purple in the pond water and the reflections of the sky-colored mixture, and big enough in the dark areas, or yellow, or red flowers or water lilies can be emphasized, has been exposed, surrounded the place closed, but on his whirlwind of light …. extend

Some people think that the theme of the paintings of Monet’s water lilies in his later years is too simple, too much emphasis on skills, not as revolutionary as his major works from the 19th Century. So, after his death, over a long period of study and water garden has been forgotten by the people. But since 1950, with the advent of Abstract Expressionism, the people come to this series the artist Lily to do, in fact, more impressionistic naturalism, and found a freedom in performance and subjective. If the artist is the landscape of the lake, his will was better than the subjective nature. It is without doubt a breakthrough in the history of art. Now the government is French built a museum in Giverny round basin, which shows the Water Lily series.

The museum is one of the most important tourist attractions of Paris.
