The Enchanting Madness. Claude Monet and Water Lilies

The master of international bestsellers on the history of art, Ross King, creates a vivid and truly inspiring canvas centered around the monumental figure of the great Impressionist, already called by his contemporaries "the most significant artist of all time." It seemed that half of Claude Monet's achievements were enough for him to rest on his laurels, enjoying well-deserved comfort, but against personal and global upheavals, against ill health, uncertainty in his abilities, and advancing age, the artist embarked on the realization of the most ambitious artistic project of his entire career—the magnificent cycle of landscapes with water lilies.
