Artists always have their pluses and minuses when it comes to inspiration. In the case of Claude Monet it was the gardens of his house in Giverny75 kilometers from the city of Paris.
In that house, which served as home for 43 yearswas where he made some of his most recognizable pieces, which gave him the nickname of being one of the best artists.
The home of the impressionist master
The obsession with lighthe color and the Orientalism It looks great on the walls and outside the residence. With almost a hundred years without a tenant, it seems like yesterday when the artist was walking through his garden, looking for a inspiration that he himself had been creating little by little.
When he bought it, at the age of 43, he found an old apple press small in size and semi-detached farm.
A workshop that served as a home
Once installed, he created a workshop that served as family home. Paint the façade pink and the doors and windows of a very intense greencontrary to usual gray, and that is combined directly with the plants that grow in the house. On the other hand, the left entrance gives access to the artist’s room; the central is the main and the one on the right is the one on the service.
The room connects with the kitchen and its walls are decorated with blue tiles sky with dark touches. When the door opens, the most striking room is seen: a yellow dining room that looks like something out of a Van Gogh painting. His room functioned as an exhibition of works by other greats such as Cezanne, Picasso either manet.
