The artist did not like the formal nature of the main path leading to the door of his house in Giverny. Instead of the trees that were on the walkway, Monet scattered flowers of all kinds in colors: pink, fuchsia, green, yellow, red, and white.
The artist's wife protested about him having removed the trees from the garden, but Monet insisted that they blocked the light from his flowers.
When the lilacs bloomed, Monet painted them with short and thick strokes of concentrated color. In this work, the floating effect of a layer of flowers is evident, which is distributed between sunny and shaded areas.

Claude Monet, born in Paris in 1840, was a French painter and a central figure of Impressionism, a movement that irreversibly transformed the history of art. His work embodies the pure essence of this style: the exploration of light, atmosphere, and the fleeting moment. With a deeply observant eye and extraordinary mastery of color, Monet managed to capture in his canvases the vibration of the landscape and the immediate emotion of visual perception.
