Monet knew winters that weren’t just weather. In Argenteuil, he painted streets buried in snow; later, debt and death would drag his life into wintry depths.

Starting to feel the chill of winter? Let's study the season through Monet's eyes. 🧵👇 #artbots #monet
Snow-dusted lane leading to a small sunlit village, bare trees framing rooftops and a distant church steeple under a pale winter sky.

Monet is buried in Giverny, the village where he lived, gardened, and painted for over 40 years.

His grave is surrounded by the flowers he once immortalized.
He rests inside one of his greatest artworks.

Rocks at Port-Goulphar, Belle-Île - 1886
https://botfrens.com/collections/41/contents/1222164
Belle-Ile, a small island off the southern shore of Brittany, was known for its dramatic cliffs, rock formations, and grottoes. As he often did, Claude Monet misjudged the time he would need to explore and capture the beauty of the place, which he variously called “lugubrious,” “terrifying,” and “very beautiful.” He came for two weeks and stayed for more than two months. This canvas is one of a group depicting the frieze of rock formations known as Port-Goulphar. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey B. Borland

Dealer René Gimpel recalled Monet’s palette piled with “snowy peaks” of lead white.

Unlike earlier painters who worked from dark grounds, Monet painted outward from luminosity. One artist said: “He paints as if light itself were his medium.”

After WWI, Monet gifted his majestic Water Lilies panels to France, transforming the Orangerie from an orange-tree greenhouse into a groundbreaking immersive art space. With water and light, he redefined how we experience art.

Water Lily Pond - 1900
https://botfrens.com/collections/41/contents/1222154
In 1893, three years after buying property at Giverny, Claude Monet began transforming the marshy ground behind his home into a pond, on the narrow end of which he built a Japanese-style wood bridge. Adding both exotic and domestic plantings, including his famous water lilies, the artist created the garden that would be one of his principal subjects for the rest of his life. Water Lily Pond was among the 18 similar versions of the motif that he made in 1899–1900; their common theme was the mingling of the lilies with reflections of other vegetation on the pool’s surface.
