Today Is Art Day Puzzle – CLAUDE MONET | Water Lilies

Dive into the world of Water Lilies with this 300-piece puzzle, offering an inspiring way to rediscover this masterpiece piece by piece.

Claude Monet’s Water Lilies consist of a series of approximately 250 paintings depicting the artist’s garden at his home in Giverny, France.  This series was the main focus of Monet’s artistic production during his last thirty years of his life. Many of the works were painted while Monet suffered from cataracts.  There would have been no water lilies if Monet had obeyed the local authorities. Monet imported the plants from Egypt and South America. The city council demanded he uproot the plants in fears they would poison the area’s water, but Monet ignored them.

One of the most inspirational and influential artists of any era, 19th-century French Impressionist Claude Monet forged an entirely new direction for the art world by developing a unique style that strove to capture on canvas the very act of perceiving nature. His experimentation with natural scenes and the ever-changing nature of light and colour created atmospheres that were both magical and recognizable.

Today is Art Day began in 2014 when founder David Beaulieu paired his passion for art history with an interest in social media to share playful stories about famous artists and artworks.  Visiting museums around the world, he shared artworks, stories and discoveries directly from the source, turning museum visits into shared experiences for art lovers everywhere.  Today is Art Day is built on the idea of bringing fun, art-inspired objects into museum stores around the world.
