Monet the Gardener Book

Once he had achieved success and renown as a painter, Monet was able to devote himself to creating Giverny, one of the most beautiful and inventive gardens in all of France.

In this richly illustrated and revelatory volume, rare photographs are juxtaposed with reproductions of the artist's paintings, demonstrating his masterful application of color and design both on the canvas and in the garden. Monet the Gardener is ideal for art lovers already familiar with Monet's painted imagery, for gardeners, for Francophiles, or anyone else in search of earthly beauty.
