It is late summer. The leaves and flowers seem positively to shimmer, the painting a tapestry of juxtaposed dabs of paint. Solid shapes are nowhere to be seen—everything is color. The herbaceous borders of nasturtiums, asters, and dahlias and the sandy path leading to a house all shine brightly. Dappled shadows dissolve into an array of dark hues. In spring 1883 Monet moved to a house in Giverny, northwest of Paris. He immediately started designing the garden; a water-lily pond was a later addition. In 1872 the little-known painter had unwittingly given Impressionism its name when he exhibited Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise). His water-lily paintings and images of this avenue in his garden represent the climax and culmination of this style.
