Description

We’ll take a leisurely virtual walk through Impressionist master Claude Monet’s famous water lily garden at his Giverny home. Ms. Hart will also offer you highlights from 30 years of Monet’s water lilies paintings, culminating in the panoramic series now displayed at the Musee de L’Orangerie in Paris. Monet was in his eighties, with cataracts and failing health, when he finally completed the monumental eight panels, which fill two spacious rooms of the museum. These “dreams,” as he described them, are more than works of art. They were also his gifts to the French people, to uplift and heal their spirits after the trauma of World War I.
