More about this artwork

Claude Monet's "Irises," painted between 1914 and 1917, is a mesmerizing tribute to the natural beauty found within his own gardens at Giverny. This luminous work, awash in vibrant hues and expressive brush strokes, captures the delicate irises swaying in a gentle unseen breeze. With its rich tapestry of greens, purples, and blues, Monet's expert use of color and light brings the garden to life, inviting viewers to lose themselves in this tranquil, naturalist piece.Monet, ever fascinated by the interplay of light, color, and nature, employs a technique that suggests rather than defines the irises and their leaves. The brushwork is loose, creating an impression of the flowers that is almost dreamlike. The lavish application of paint and the almost tactile quality of the brush strokes evoke the lushness of the garden in full bloom."Irises" stands as a testament to Monet's enduring love for his garden as a subject, reflecting not just a scene of natural beauty, but also an intimate part of the artist's world. It invites us to contemplate nature’s fleeting moments of beauty, preserved forever through Monet’s eyes.

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.
