Monet created his painting White Water-Lilies while in Giverny. It was a part of the series dedicated to water-lilies, consisting of 48 works. After moving to Giverny, Monet paid special attention to his house and garden on the Epte River. There, the artist created a special environment of artificial ponds, water plants, trees with branches hanging above water, and small bridges over ponds. These man-made landscapes, with water-lilies that changed color depending on the season, evoked Monet’s associations with Japan and its art that he always found fascinating. The greenery, water, and flowers converge in the painting into a bright whole presence. “White Water-Lilies” features very evident decorativeness, a characteristic of many turn-of-the-century artworks.
