Water Lilies — Postcard after Claude Monet

Claude Monet's Water Lilies — the Nymphéas — are the long, slow obsession that closed his career. Beginning in 1896 and continuing until his death in 1926, he painted the lily pond at his Giverny garden again and again, canvas after canvas, until the surface of the water became the entire painting: floating pads, drifting blossoms, willows and clouds folded into one shimmering reflection.

This postcard reproduces one painting from that series for collectors, decorators, and anyone who wants a piece of one of the most beloved gardens in art history on their desk. It works as a framed miniature, a quiet bookmark inside a sketchbook, a thoughtful gift to an artist friend, or a postcrossing card carrying a small fragment of Monet's pond across the world.
