Agapanthus

Claude Monet · 1914-26

This is Agapanthus, one of the late garden canvases Monet worked on at Giverny between nineteen fourteen and his death in nineteen twenty-six. He painted the same pond for the last twelve years of his life, at a scale that stopped being a view and became a surrounding.
