Monet's Painting and Gardening at Giverny by Eric T. Haskell March 20, 2010

Monet’s Painting and Gardening at Giverny
Eric T. Haskell, Professor of French Studies and Interdisciplinary Humanities and Director of the Clark Humanities Museum, Scripps College.

This lecture explores the relationship between Claude Monet’s gardening practices and painterly techniques, and how these two elements came together in his famous series of landscape paintings made near his home at Giverny. This illustrated presentation highlights the Metropolitan Museum’s Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies (1899) as well as dozens of other canvases made by the Impressionist master from the 1890s until his death in 1926.
