Two trunks separated by a vast interval
Willows do not form a decorative pair. Their remoteness creates a central water field where light can unfold without a focal point.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1914 -1926 · Orangery · INV 20106
Two willow trunks punctuate lavender blue water where a milky sky is reflected. Over twelve and seventy-five meters, the hanging branches, water lilies and passages of light build diffuse clarity without showing either sky or horizon.

Look at the work
The dark trunks sit far apart and cross almost the entire height. Their branches descend from the upper edge in long green and blue touches. This vertical structure slows down the gaze without interrupting the panoramic movement of the water.
Between the trees, Monet opens a large blue-gray and pale pink area. Water lilies concentrate more in the lower part and near the trunks, leaving breaths in the center where the reflection of the sky becomes almost immaterial.
Morning light does not come from a visible sun: it arises from the way in which pinkish grays and milky blues pass through the reflections of the willows.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Willows do not form a decorative pair. Their remoteness creates a central water field where light can unfold without a focal point.
The tops of the trees are cut down. Vertical branches enter into the composition like irregular curtains and reinforce the impression of a landscape that continues beyond the frame.
Lavender blue, pink gray, muted green and purple brown remain mixed. Lightening evenly would remove the deep passages around the trunks and water lilies.
Details and visual documents
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 reference scan was reduced from 8,854 × 1,352 px to 8,000 × 1,222 px; the detail measures 3,600 × 1,352 px and the actual room photograph 4,800 × 2,800 px. No files have been enlarged; all three images are real WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
Painted between 1914 and 1926, Le Matin clair aux saules brings together three oil panels on canvas, joined together and mounted on the wall. The whole measures 200 × 1,275 cm.
The Musée de l'Orangerie presents this composition in room 2 of the Water Lilies. It faces the Matin aux saules, a close but distinct work.
Monet's donation was approved in 1922. The panels were then installed at the Orangerie according to the artist's project and presented to the public from 1927.
