The Water Lillies Come to Life
EDUCO Paris, Fall 2015
Paris, France
I went to Giverny to see Monet’s water lilies after surveying Monet’s paintings in Paris. I had the odd experience of simultaneously developing greater respect for Monet but reflecting on the fact that perhaps no piece of artwork can truly capture the beauty of the garden. Nonetheless, it was amazing to be able to see the source of inspiration for his masterpieces.
