Monet had a profound love for his garden in Giverny, a small village in France where he lived from 1883 until his death in 1926. The garden consists of two main parts: a flower garden, known as the Clos Normand, and a water garden with a pond, featuring a Japanese bridge crossing it. Monet, together with his gardeners, took meticulous care of the garden. He found endless inspiration in the colors of the flowers and the play of light on the water, leaving us with awe-inspiring series such as the "Water Lilies" and "Japanese Bridge" paintings.
