* Giverny and Mornet's Garden (Frence)

"Monet's water garden was located at Giverny, a quiet town on the Seine where he moved in 1883. He embarked on his first series in 1899 with the Japanese bridge as its subject. ... 'Imagine a circular room whose wall... would be entirely filled by a borizon of water spotted with these plants[water lilies], the walls of a transparency sometime green, sometimes almost mauve, the calm and silence of the still water reflecting the flowering display; the toned are vague, deliciously nuanced, as delicated as a dream' — August, 1897".
