The Water Lilies Basin, private collection W1897hand painted reproduction

A pink and light blue gap crosses the pool between two almost black masses of vegetation. On the left, red flowers punctuate yellow-green leaves; on the right, a few pink water lilies float in front of a very dense vertical reflection. This large two-meter canvas thus opposes a moving central light to deep aquatic banks.

Look at the work

A bright opening splits the surface between two areas of dark vegetation

The composition shows neither sky nor shore. The leaves mainly cover the sides, with maximum density in the lower left quarter and around the dark reflection on the right. The center remains more open: pale pink, cobalt blue, mauve and orange passages describe the water without drawing a traditional perspective.

The flowers are not distributed regularly. A bright red group enlivens the upper left, a few pink corollas stand out near the right edge, then small isolated accents descend towards the foreground. The signature, worn at the bottom right, remains taken in the brown-green tones of the border.

Depth arises less from an absent horizon than from the alternation between clear water, thick leaves and almost opaque vertical reflections.

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.

Analysis of Le Bassin aux nymphéas, private collection W1897 - Claude Monet
01

A clear axis deliberately irregular

The central passage is neither a river nor a path. Its pink, blue and orange curves constantly change width and must remain mixed with the leaves which interrupt them.

02

Two obscurities of different nature

On the left, the dark mass is fragmented by yellow leaves and red flowers. On the right, it takes the form of a continuous vertical reflection, crossed by emerald green and blue.

03

Water lilies painted on several scales

The large leaves in the foreground have brown edges and yellow-green centers. Higher up, the shapes are reduced to quick touches, which is enough to create distance on a surface without horizons.

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.

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.

Identification01

A canvas of 100 × 200 cm, Wildenstein 1897

Sotheby's dates the work from 1917 -1919, specifies that it is painted in oil on canvas and that it bears a Claude Monet signature at the bottom right. It is reproduced under number 1897 in the 1985 and 1996 editions of the catalog raisonné.

Provenance02

From Michel Monet to American collections

Remaining in Giverny with Michel Monet, the painting passed through the Maeght Gallery then Sam Salz in 1965. It then belonged in particular to the Matthaei, the Fran & Ray Stark Foundation and a New York collection which acquired it around 2006.

Exhibitions03

From the Metropolitan Museum to the Kimbell Art Museum

The work was shown at the Metropolitan Museum in 1966 and 1968, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1991, then in Monet: The Late Years in Fort Worth and San Francisco in 2019. It was reported on loan to the Kimbell from 2019.
