In 1890 Claude Monet retired to his garden in Giverny, having finally won the acclaim of the Paris art world. Here he began his masterly series paintings of his garden. The success of his garden paintings is due not only to his ability to transfer what he saw before him onto canvas, but also to his careful planning and arrangement of nature to provide subject matter. Monet planted flowers whose colours harmonized in accordance with the arrangement of his palette. By clicking on the above painting by Auguste Renoir showing Monet painting in his garden, you will get into a heavenly garden of colors and harmony; no text, no size, no location, just pure pleasure. Please be patient, you will be rewarded.
