Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1919 · Basel · Wildenstein 1916
In this late canvas, the Giverny garden fills the entire field. Earthy yellows, acidic greens and deep blues surround a barely visible walkway, while wisteria flowers draw a clear line in the middle of the material.

Look at the work
On the left, touches of turquoise and cream form a mass of foliage that extends almost to the lower edge. On the right, darker greens and long willow leaves create a vertical wall. Between the two, the lower arch maintains a narrow passage towards the pool.
Color does not follow just one direction. The vertical gestures of the willow meet the horizontals of the water, the curves of the walkway and the punctuations of the wisteria. This diversity prevents the dominant green from becoming monotonous and gives each zone its own speed.
The difficulty is not finding each leaf, but preserving the changes of direction that make this plant mass breathe.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Light turquoise, whites and yolks overlap without complete fusion. These breaks give the vegetation its proximity and thickness.
The wisteria and the balustrade cross the canvas at neighboring heights. Their offset must remain perceptible to prevent the center from transforming into a uniform band.
On the right, the elongated leaves descend from the top. Their verticality is enough to identify the tree and contrasts with the more circular touches of the pool.
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 high definition view measures 6420 × 3938 px. The two details of 3000 × 2300 px show the left and right sides separately. 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.
The painting measures 65.6 × 106.4 cm and bears Monet's signature and date at the bottom right. His inventory at the Kunstmuseum Basel is G 1986.15.
This reference distinguishes the Basel canvas within late Japanese bridges. Monet sold it to Bernheim-Jeune in November 1919, unlike several versions remaining in his workshop.
The 1986 purchase was made possible by a special credit from the Basel government and a contribution from the Max Geldner Foundation.
