From
1890 he concentrated on series of pictures in
which he painted the same subject at different
times of the day in different lights---Haystacks
or Grainstacks (1890-91) and Rouen Cathedral (1891-95)
are the best known. He continued to travel widely,
visiting London and Venice several times (and
also Norway as a guest of Queen Christiana), but
increasingly his attention was focused on the
celebrated water-garden he created at Giverny,
which served as the theme for the series of paintings
on Water-lilies that began in 1899
and grew to dominate his work completely (in 1914
he had a special studio built in the grounds of
his house so he could work on the huge canvases).
In his final years he was troubled by failing
eyesight, but he painted until the end. He was
enormously prolific and many major galleries have
examples of his work. |
