Monet's Bridge

Monet's Japanese garden

10 years after Monet settled in the village of Giverny, he decided to create a Japanese garden. The artist buys a neighboring plot of land. Here flowed a small brook Ru, which branched off from the river Epty. A symmetrical water garden appeared on the site.
There are bridges and one large Japanese bridge over many islets of the pond. The shores are buried in wisteria, thickets of weeping willows and bamboo thickets. The main attraction is the water lilies scattered over the entire surface of the pond and blooming throughout the summer.
Soon, the famous water lilies will appear on the paintings of Claude Monet, which will bring the artist new laurels of success. It should be noted that this was the first case in the world when an artist embodied his ideas in a natural landscape, and then transferred them to canvas.
