Claude Monet · 1900 · Chicago · W1628

The Water Lily Basin, Chicago W1628hand painted reproduction

A green Japanese bridge crosses thick vegetation, then its arch opens onto a pool covered with pink and white water lilies. In this version painted in 1900, Monet gives the Giverny garden an intense depth: the branches descend, the reflections rise and the surface of the water becomes a network of turquoise, red and purple touches.

Look at the work

The bridge closes the top of the canvas while the water lilies open the depth of the pool

The bridge occupies the upper third and forms a dark curve, slightly off-center to the left. Its railing is painted superimposed greens, blues and reds. The foliage behind it remains more vertical, while the touches of the pool stretch horizontally and give a clear direction to the water.

In the foreground, the blue-green leaves are divided into irregular groups. Pink, white and pale yellow flowers punctuate the surface without forming a decorative pattern. Red and turquoise reflections pass between them and connect the pool to the willows which descend along the sides.

The bridge is not only a recognizable subject: its curve gives a stable measure to a garden where everything else is transformed into color and reflection.

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 The Water Lilies Basin, Chicago W1628 - Claude Monet
01

A dark arch without uniform outline

The railing brings together blue, green, purple and red covers. Painting it as a continuous green line would cause the foliage to lose its integration.

02

A pool built in colored bands

Turquoise, pink, green and earth-red intersect in the water. The keys should remain directional and never become a flat gloss or smooth mirror.

03

Water lilies distributed by densities

The leaves are more numerous in the center and at the bottom, but their spacing varies. This irregularity maintains depth and avoids the effect of mechanical sowing.

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

Chicago 1933.441, Wildenstein 1628

The Art Institute dates this oil on canvas to 1900. It measures 89.8 × 101 cm, or 112.4 × 122.6 × 10.2 cm with its frame, and bears the inscription Claude Monet at the top left./1900.

Giverny series02

One of eighteen versions from 1899 -1900

The museum links this painting to a group of eighteen similar compositions. Monet associates the Japanese bridge, the water lilies and the reflections of the vegetation in an almost square framing.

Water Garden03

A pattern created from 1893

Three years after purchasing his property, Monet transformed the marshy land behind his house, created the pond and built a Japanese-inspired wooden bridge which would become a central subject of his work.
