The painter of sunlight par excellence, Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926) had a lifelong fascination with water, the perfect complement to light. At his home in Giverny he built a water garden, where, after his celebrated depictions of haystacks and the facade of Rouen Cathedral, he created profound, luminous variations on a simple ensemble of lily pads, blossoms, and sky. The twelve paintings reproduced in this calendar offer a sampling of the great artist"s work, among them The Artist"s Garden at Vétheuil; Irises in Monet"s Garden; The Luncheon; The Needle and the Porte d"Aval; The Red Boats, Argenteuil; Rouen Cathedral, Symphony in Grey and Pink; Water-Lilies; and Water-Lilies and Agapanthus.Size: 12 x 13 in.; opens to 12 x 26 in.
