Claude Monet: 5 x 8 Journal - Japanese Footbridge and the Water Lily Pool Details
Claude MonetThis journal features a remastered version of Monet's Japanese Footbridge and the Water Lily Pool. The original oil painting was created in 1899. According to the National Gallery of Art, Monet moved his household to the rural community of Giverny, where he leased a house that he was able to purchase seven years later. In early 1893, he acquired a swampy area across the railroad tracks abutting his property and petitioned the village council for permission to divert a small stream into it. But it was only toward the end of that decade that he turned to the garden he had created there as a rich source of artistic inspiration.The image wraps around the journal.
