Win a copy of A Day with CLAUDE MONET in GIVERNY

This beautiful, slipcased volume offers an intimate tour inside Monet’s home and through the idyllic Giverny garden that inspired his most iconic paintings. The garden at Giverny became the impressionist master’s greatest artistic accomplishment and a catalyst for his work. In 1890, Monet began renovating it, installing a picturesque water lily pond inspired by the Japanese prints he avidly collected.

The beautifully vivid illustrations of Monet’s paintings, his home, and the grounds give readers unprecedented access into the flowery paradise to which Monet dedicated the last 40 years of his life.

The setting of Monet’s Water Lilies series―his most famous works―it is now the most visited garden of its size in the Western world.
