Beyond the immediate gardens, elegant villas painted in soft pastel hues of yellow and pink bask beneath the gentle Mediterranean sun, their facades partially obscured by the rich abundance of surrounding trees and shrubs.Dominating the background, the tranquil blue and mauve tones of the mountains create a calming backdrop against the soft sky.

Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property, and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.
