Musee de L'orangerie - Monet's Lily Pond Paintings


A cycle of Monet's water-lily paintings, known as the Nymphéas, was first arranged on the ground floor of the Orangerie in 1927. They are available under direct diffused light as was originally intended by Monet. The eight paintings are displayed in two oval rooms all along the walls. It is very peaceful in these two rooms and your mind can easily transport itself to the actual lily ponds in Giverny. I took a lot of photo's and someday when I have some time I'm going to knit them together into a number of panorama pictures. In the meantime my blog followers will have to settle for them broken up into smaller pieces ... sorry.


Life is good ... enjoy
