Monet lovedBlue water lilyIt's the best time to see
Otsuka Museum of Art exhibits "Water Lilies," a masterpiece painted by impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926) in his later years, outdoors, surrounded by nature, taking advantage of the characteristics of ceramic panels that are resistant to wind, rain, and ultraviolet rays. The pond surrounding the work is filled with colorful water lilies, making this the best season to enjoy the masterpiece as well! From July to September, the "blue water lilies" that did not bloom in Giverny, France, where Monet spent time, also bloom. Please enjoy Monet's masterpiece and the scenery rich in nature.


Monet's Admiration for Japan
At the age of 43, Monet moved to Giverny, a rural area in northwestern France. Inspired by the landscapes depicted in ukiyo-e prints, he built a pond and drum bridge in the garden of his home, and grew seasonal plants around it, including wisteria trellises, willows, irises, and water lilies. He painted a series of over 200 works using the water lilies he lovingly cultivated as a motif. His masterpiece, "Water Lilies," which he created as the culmination of his work, was donated to the French state in accordance with Monet's wishes, and is currently on display at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris. At our museum, you can enjoy the colors that change with the time of day and the weather in natural light.
