A scene from Claude Monet's gardens at Giverny. Monet lived and painted in Giverny from 1883 until his death in 1926. He noticed the village of Giverny while looking out of a train window and was determined to move there, he eventually purchased a house and property and began a great landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. Monet's garden is much today as it was when he painted his famous lake Giverny, as reflected in this tapestry.
