His passion was depicting the effects of light, particularly on water, which often led him to garden paint the same scene several times over in a variety of daylight conditions. He lived for a few years at Argenteuil on the River Seine and later bought a house near the village of Giverny in the large garden of which many of his greatest masterpieces were painted. The Waterlily Pond (1899) is one of a series featuring Monet's own water garden and Japanese footbridge at Giverny in which his use of colour and light is at its most exquisite. Argenteuil (c.1875) shows a variety of colourful boats moored on the River Seine. It was probably painted from the artist's specially built "studio boat". | | | | | | Tiles manufacturer used in this setting: 6362 Monet: Waterlily Pond with 6367B Colonial White frame, 6361 Alma-Tadema A Coign of Vantage and 6359 Baths of Caracalla with 6366B Colonial White frame, B9002 Colonial White Half tile, GJB9022A Jade Breeze Parthenon, GJB9909Jade Breeze Omega, GJB9900Jade Breeze Albert.
