Monet’s house and garden is a gorgeous site.
This garden had many blooming flowers and vines and
the house is situated in the perfect spot. Monet’s
bedroom window on the second floor had two huge windows
overlooking his garden. He painted many of his works
from his bedroom windows. Monet’s also had a vast
collection of Japanese art displayed throughout his
house. I was really surprised by this collection, but
he absolutely loved this art and was a great collector.
Copies of a lot of his most famous paintings are displayed
in the house as well (the originals are kept in museums,
such as the d’Orsay and the Louvre). We were not
allowed to take pictures inside, but I have quite a
few of the gardens. |
