The Water Lily Pond, c. 1917-19
The story
From Monet's final years, when failing eyesight and the loss of his wife and son turned the lily-pond paintings inward. Lilies and the willows on the bank merge into bands of red, violet, and bottle-green. The pond becomes less a place than a state of mind.
