Although Claude Monet is regarded as on of the best painters of the 19th century, one third of his career actually fell within the 20th century. Over these 26 years he created some of his most challenging paintings, characterized by their grander scale and bold technical experimentation. This text focuses solely on this body of work and features more than 80 paintings. Motifs include the artist's garden at Giverny, appearing most famously in the monumental water lily panels, along with London landscapes and Venice landmarks, all of which feature in this introductory guide.
