Abstract

Garden, of a very well known impressionistic painter Claude Oscar Monet (1840. – 1926.), was formed in the late 19th century as a result of the painter’s two great passions - painting and gardening. Both were accomplished on the landed property of about 3 ha , which was bought by the artist in a small village of Giverny, situated 70 km northwest of Paris. The garden consisted of three parts, and the garden design was based on the specific use of the plant material. Particularly famous are the flower-beds formed by applying interesting color combinations, created tirelessly by the artist in his garden and painted almost with the same inspiration on his canvases.
