Claude Monet 1899. Cut Design: Jill Pryor. Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge represents one of
Monet’s greatest achievements: his gardens at Giverny and the series of paintings they
inspired. In 1883 the artist moved to this country town near Paris but just across the border
of Normandy and immediately began to redesign the property. In 1893 Monet purchased an
adjacent tract which included a small brook and transformed the site into an Asian-inspired
oasis of cool greens exotic plants and calm waters enhanced by a Japanese footbridge. The
serial approach embodied in this work—one of about a dozen paintings in which Monet returned to
the same view under differing weather and light conditions—was one of his great formal
innovations. He was committed to painting directly from nature as frequently as possible and
whenever weather permitted sometimes working on eight or more canvases in the same day.
Monet’s project to capture ever-shifting atmospheric conditions came to be a hallmark of the
Impressionist style.. This delightful 256 piece puzzle contains 20 whimsy pieces some of them
