Monet: My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece | Part.2

<

Claude Monet* noticed the village of Giverny while looking out of a train window. He made up his mind to move there and rented a house and the area surrounding it.
In 1890 he had enough money to buy the house and land outright and set out to create the magnificent gardens he wanted to paint.

Some of his most famous paintings were of his garden in Giverny*, famous for its rectangular Clos normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around colored shrubs, and the water garden, formed by a tributary to the Epte, with the Japanese bridge, the pond with the water lilies, the wisterias and the azaleas.

Monet* lived in the house with its famous pink crushed brick façade from 1883 until his death in 1926. He and many members of his family are interred in the village cemetery.

Giverny è un comune francese di 523 abitanti situato nel dipartimento dell'Eure nella regione dell'Alta Normandia.

Nel villaggio di Giverny si trova la casa dove dimorò e morì Claude Monet* dal 1883-1926, che oggi ospita la Fondation Claude Monet.

Il "Musée des impressionnismes Giverny", vero "museo degli impressionismi*" presenta ogni anno due-tre mostre temporanee che riuniscono i più grandi nomi dell'impressionismo, in particolare quelli della colonia di pittori di Giverny e della Valle della Senna.

Il giardino di Claude Monet* ha ottenuto il marchio di "jardin remarquable" -giardino notevole. La proprietà fa parte dei monumenti storici dal 6 aprile 1976.
