Week 1 10th March: Monet’s Garden at Giverny

In 1883 Monet moved into Le Pressoir, Giverny, below his house he created gardens whose colours vibrantly or contemplatively evolved under the Norman skies. Initially he painted the rural motifs of the poplars and grainstacks before devoting himself to the floral canvas of his own making until his death in 1926. Botanically and horticulturally skilled, Monet grew the latest in irises and water lilies watching them as the day reflected its course in their shapes, moments captured for eternity in over 500 paintings. The meticulous restoration of Giverny provides the canvas to explore the man, his paintings and his gardens.

Caroline Holmes is the author of 11 books including a comprehensive history of Water Lilies published in 2015, and Monet at Giverny in 2016, which has been translated into 3 languages. She was also keynote speaker in Giverny for the International Water Gardens Symposium in 2019. She is also a Course Director for the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education including last year’s Virtual Summer Festival of Learning 2020. Her own gardens are open to the public and have featured in many magazine articles and on television in both Britain and Japan. For more information about Caroline see here.
