Water Lilies (Agapanthus)
Claude Monet
Water Lilies (Agapanthus), c. 1915-26
Oil on canvas

A meditation on peace and reflection, this luminous canvas resonates with themes of sympathy and thinking of you. Painted late in life, Monet’s water lilies became both sanctuary and obsession - his answer to grief, war, and fading sight. In this vast panel, agapanthus bloom across mirrored water, their stems suspended in a weightless dream.
