Monet's "The Nympheas" Rediscovered After Decades


In 2 rooms at the Musee de l’Orangerie is the new restored fabulous paintings of Claude Monet, the light here is soft and white, the emptiness is absolute, and the eyes encounter no obstacle. The visitor is as though caught up in this landscape; he turns, he turns round again, he looses himself and is finally drowned among these paintings with such evocative names as “morning”, “clouds” and “green reflections”.
