Claude Monet · 1914 -1917 · The Met 2001.202.6 · W1828

The Path among the irises, Met W1828hand painted reproduction

Monet looks almost vertically at a path in his garden in Giverny. Two masses of irises line the passage: on the left, green leaves and pink flowers wind deep; on the right, the orange-yellow path rises to the top of the canvas. The large format and the free touch give the floral pattern a monumental breadth.

Look at the work

The yellow path splits moving vegetation and leads the eye towards the bottom of the garden

The left part brings together dense vegetation. The leaves bend, cross and seem to overflow onto each other. Pink and purple flowers appear in spaced touches; they do not organize a bouquet, but give luminous markers in the green mass.

To the right, the ocher of the path forms a wide and unstable diagonal. Greens and blues cross it, as if plants and shadows invade the passage. The bird's eye view removes the horizon and transforms the ground into a continuous colored field.

Monet does not describe every iris: he paints the collective energy of leaves, flowers and the path in changing light.

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.

01

Perspective from above

The viewer does not face the garden; he seems to lean over the path. This position brings the plans together and allows plant forms to fill almost the entire surface, without sky or architecture to contain them.

02

A clear diagonal as a spine

The path starts near the bottom, widens in the center then goes up to the right. It organizes the profusion of leaves and prevents the composition from becoming uniform. However, its edges remain permeable and mix with plants.

03

A late, ample and nervous material

The gestures are broader than in the landscapes of the 1870s. Certain areas reveal the repetitions and superpositions. Faithful reproduction must retain this energy, without smoothing the surface or isolating each flower with an outline.

Reference image

Read this specific version

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's only reference image measures 3,324 × 3,689 px. It was encoded as a real WebP at its native definition, without artificial enlargement.

Composition01

Plant masses rather than botanical details

The irises are recognizable by their long leaves and a few corollas, but the whole is constructed like a succession of curved rhythms. The shapes fit together and give the garden an almost tactile density.

Color02

Ocher yellow versus green and blue

The trail has the warmest colors. Opposite, the foliage mixes olive green, turquoise and deep blue. Roses and mauves serve as transitions and prevent the hot-cold opposition from becoming too simple.

Matter03

Very visible brush directions

The sheets follow oblique or curved gestures, while the path receives wider touches in the direction of depth. These orientations must remain readable: they are the main driving force of the movement.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

These landmarks concern the large canvas of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, inventory 2001.202.6 and Wildenstein 1828.

Identification01

The Met 2001.202.6, Wildenstein 1828

This oil on canvas from 1914 -1917 measures 200.3 × 180 cm. Its monumental dimensions distinguish this version from the smaller garden studies previously carried out in Giverny.

Period02

A late work painted during the First World War

Monet intensely took up the motifs of his garden from 1914. In this period, color often moved away from naturalistic observation and the touch became broader, linked to his major decorative projects.

Collection03

Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg Collection

The painting belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art thanks to the collection of Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg. Its issue 2001.202.6 precisely identifies this painting within the legacy presented by the museum.

Your reproduction

What the painter must preserve

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.

  • The monumental version of the Met, 2001.202.6 and Wildenstein 1828
  • The original ratio of 200.3 × 180 cm
  • The warm diagonal of the path maintained in the middle of the plant masses
  • The curved and visible gestures of the preserved leaves without smoothing
