MONET, Claude: Water Lilies

🖼 Water Lilies, 1905
Oil on canvas
90 × 100 cm
Boston, USA

Soft brushwork dissolves boundaries between water and sky, while floating lily pads drift across shimmering surface in luminous blues and greens. Monet captures fleeting light effects through repeated observation, pioneering abstract composition and influencing modernism's move away from representation.
