A leading figure of Impressionism, Claude Monet (1840-1926) settled in Giverny in 1883. From 1890, he began to develop his famous garden, which would become the central theme of his paintings. He dug the ponds and in 1895 built the elegant Japanese bridge over the water lilies. Belonging to the Water Lilies series, "Water Lilies Pond, Green Harmony" is currently held by the Musée d'Orsay. The arched shape of the bridge painted in green and its guardrail earned it the name "Japanese bridge", but the exuberance of the vegetation is more reminiscent of Mediterranean gardens. The painter highlights a general harmony by the symmetrization of the composition: a body of water seen along an east-west axis, the painting of almost square format and the shades of green and blue of the aquatic plants of the small pond, reeds, bamboos and irises on the banks, in the background trees including a weeping willow.
