About this work

Original size: 101 × 200 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Movement: Impressionism

A two-metre-wide stretch of Monet's pond at Giverny, painted in 1919 when the artist was nearly eighty. Lilies in full flower, their yellow centres ringed with purple, sit on water that holds the reflected colours of trees and sky; there is no bank and no horizon. Monet was by then deep in the huge decorative panels for the Orangerie and reluctant to let recent work go, but he made this canvas and three related pictures with the market in mind, telling his dealers Gaston and Josse Bernheim that he was working on them passionately. The brothers bought all four. This one came to the Metropolitan Museum of Art through Walter and Leonore Annenberg. The American abstract painter Ellsworth Kelly singled it out as a late Monet that pulls attention to the surface of the paint itself.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Water Lilies (1919) in the public domain?

Yes. Claude Monet (1840–1926) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Water Lilies (1919) painted, and in what medium?

Water Lilies (1919) dates from 1919 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 101 × 200 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
