Claude Monet's Nymphéas bleus

English name of the painting:Blue Water Lilies
(Nymphaea" is the botanical name for a water lily)


Monet focused on a small area of the pond, seen as a piece of nature, almost a close-up. No details stand out and the overall impression is one of a shapeless surface. The square format reinforces the neutrality of the composition. The lack of a frame of reference gives the fragment an infinite, limitless feeling.


I love the floating mood in this painting:) such a fantasy!
I would love to have a dream about this blue water lilies, just wonder if I could fly round them~~


P.s. There is a gigantic one in the Musée de l'Orangerie
