Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1904 · Denver 1935.14 · W1666
The pool fills the painting without edge or horizon. Large green leaves, a few pink and yellow flowers, then blue-purple reflections make up a space where the sky only appears through the water. Acquired thanks to the Helen Dill legacy, this painting from the Denver Art Museum is Wildenstein 1666.

Look at the work
Water lilies are divided into unequal groups, more numerous towards the edges and more spaced in the center. Their size varies slightly, which maintains a depth without constructed perspective. The almost square format accentuates the impression of a fragment taken from a continuous pool.
Under the leaves, the water changes from blue to mauve, green and pink. Vertical lines suggest reflected trees, while small horizontal touches mark surface vibrations. Monet thus superimposes several readings of the same plane.
In W1666, the pool is no longer the mirror of the landscape: it itself becomes a world of color, depth and light.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The Denver Art Museum preserves this 1904 oil on canvas under the 1935.14 inventory. Its measurements of approximately 87.9 × 91.4 cm and Wildenstein number 1666 identify this composition.
The work was acquired thanks to funds from the Helen Dill legacy. It thus belongs to the first important European ensembles developed by the museum during the 1930s.
Monet expanded his water garden at the beginning of the century. In 1904, he tightened his framing on the surface itself, removing bridge and bank to explore reflections and floating plants.
Reference image
Only one image is used: the exact view of W1666, preserved as a real WebP of 4,000 × 3,808 px, without artificial enlargement.
Each island has its own shape and density. The water spaces between them must be preserved, because they regulate the rhythm and breathing of the whole.
The greens of the leaves remain warm compared to the blues of the water. Roses and yellows appear as small accents, never as a decorative dominant.
The fine, descending passages construct the reflections; the flowers receive a denser material. This contrast gives the sensation of a surface that is both liquid and tactile.
Documented benchmarks
The Denver Art Museum maintains this version under inventory 1935.14; it corresponds to Wildenstein number 1666 and measures approximately 87.9 × 91.4 cm.
This oil on canvas from 1904 adopts an almost square format. The precise arrangement of the leaves distinguishes it from other water landscapes painted the same year.
The work joined the museum thanks to funds from the Helen Dill legacy. This inventory number accompanies its institutional documentation.
Monet paints a garden that he designed himself, but here erases the topographical landmarks. What remains is the water, plants and reflections, organized like an autonomous surface.
