From the collection of Musée Marmottan Monet
Bassin aux nymphéas is a 1918 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting shows a colorful outdoor scene. There are trees and bushes in shades of red, green, and yellow. The colors are applied in loose, expressive brushstrokes. The overall effect is one of movement and energy. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the painting a sense of depth and dimension. The colors are vivid and bright, with a focus on warm tones. The painting appears to be a landscape, but it's abstracted and impressionistic. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Claude Monet, who was a master of capturing light and color in his paintings.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
