Cleveland Museum Brings Together the Big Picture of Monet Water Lilies

September 11, 2015 by Marion Maneker

The Cleveland Museum of Art is bringing together a massive Monet nympheas:

To anchor its big fall blockbuster, “Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse,” the museum persuaded the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City to lend it two large Claude Monet water lily compositions painted as companions to a third it owns.

The three paintings, which make a vast unified panorama of reflected light on the surface of Monet’s famous water lily pond in Giverny, France, haven’t been shown together in decades.
