À propos de l’œuvre
La maison vue du jardin aux roses, par Claude Monet
Claude Monet · 1922 -1924 · Marmottan 5087 · Wildenstein 1945
The House seen from the rose gardenhand painted reproduction
The turquoise facade appears on the left under a dark red roof; a yellow gap crosses the center, while a mass of green, purple and red rose bushes closes the right in a dense and almost sculpted material.
Look at the work
A golden gap separates the house from a wall of dark rose bushes
The house is only visible in fragments: a few turquoise verticals, brick red touches and the slope of a roof. In front of it, the stems and flowers form a screen. The large yellow passage in the center does not describe a precise sky; it acts as a reserve of light between two plant masses.
On the right, the foliage closes in deep green, purple and burgundy. The bottom of the canvas mixes the orange path with the red massifs without clear separation. The thick layers, the covers and the touch directions give the garden a physical relief that reproduction must preserve.
The pattern remains identifiable, but the house, the driveway and the plants are no longer separate objects: they become three densities of color that fit together.
Composition, touch and light
What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The facade held by a few verticals
The turquoise lines on the left are enough to evoke the house. Their rhythm must remain visible under the touches of flowers, without becoming too clean an architectural design.
A yellow opening that organizes space
The clear gap immediately catches the eye and creates depth. Its edges are irregular, caught between the roof, the branches and the large dark mass on the right.
A very busy late material
In reds and greens, several layers remain perceptible. Fidelity comes as much through the relief of the keys as through the exact correspondence of the colors.
Details and visual documents
Observe the material and the exact version
The additional images show the difficult-to-read passages in the full view and, where it exists, the actual appearance of the work at the museum.
The official view measures 1500 × 1299 px and its detail 820 × 980 px. The actual photograph of the work reaches 3080 × 2608 px. No artificial enlargement has been applied; all three files are in WebP.
Documented benchmarks
Three pieces of information specific to this work
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
Inventory 5087, Wildenstein 1945
This version measures 81 × 93 cm. The Marmottan Monet Museum dates it between 1922 and 1924, describes it as unsigned and identifies it under inventory number 5087.
A distinct composition among the views of the rose garden
The museum keeps several paintings with the same title. This is distinguished by its central yellow gap, the turquoise facade on the left and the large dark green and burgundy mass on the right.
The legacy of Michel Monet
Remaining in the painter's family, the work joined the Marmottan Monet Museum with the bequest of Michel Monet in 1966, which constitutes the heart of the collection dedicated to his father.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.
- The turquoise verticals of the house under the flowers
- The central yellow gap without regular outline
- The deep greens and purples of the right mass
- The relief of reds and oranges in the foreground

A palette designed with the room
This almost square canvas combines turquoise, golden yellow, burgundy and deep red. It creates a powerful focal point on a linen, cream, forest green or petrol blue wall, with soft side lighting.
