Water Lilies of Monet—The Magic of Water and Light
Water Lilies of Monet—The Magic of Water and Light is a cinematic journey through the masterpieces and obsessions of the genius Impressionist. When Claude Monet re-emerged from the depression that had led him to abandon painting, he devoted himself body and soul to his most colossal undertaking: The Grand Decorations—huge panels depicting his water lily pond, so all-enveloping that the viewer's gaze is lost in an atmosphere of serenity and peace. This deeply immersive art film allows us to discover what gave Monet the inspiration to return to work, and to produce such a stunning and immortal work of beauty. Follow the River Seine on a visually stunning journey from Le Havre to Giverny and Paris in France, through influential moments in the life of the world’s most influential painter, with astonishing up-close access to some of his greatest masterpieces.
