Monet, Painting Time at Musée de l’Orangerie

Event Description

Lovers of Impressionism, and Claude Monet in particular, already consider the Musée de l’Orangerie a temple. This year, there is another major exhibition to discover. Monet’s swift hand captured the essence of the movement, from his cathedrals, haystacks and gardens to his celebrated “Water Lilies.” His style responded to the passing of time, whether through painting the same scene at different hours of the day or seasons of the year, or by reflecting the transformations of modern life. This fascination with time forms the connecting thread in this display of almost 40 paintings chosen to highlight different periods of Monet’s career.
