Galerie Mont Waterlily pond, green harmony – Claude Monet^ Monet

The arched shape of this bridge earned it the name “Japanese bridge”. Claude Monet was in fact inspired by one of the Japanese prints in his private collection. The exuberance of the vegetation, however, refers more to Mediterranean gardens. The painter emphasizes here a general harmony through the symmetry of the composition of the impressionnist painting by using the format of the canvas with the bluish-green cameo, aquatic plants, reeds, and irises on the banks.
