Claude monet's 'Bridge over water lilies'?

What would you say is the theme of the painting?


And what was Monet's intentions?


And what message do you think he was trying to send out?

Claude monet's 'Bridge over water lilies'?
Monet wanted to capture the impression of what he was painting. He painted the same subject again and again as the light changed. He was facinated by water and the effect light had on it.


He painted outdoors in natural light. His subjects included the Thames, a haystack, Rouen Cathedral and of course, his garden.


To see what his intentions were, go and see his lily painting in the Orangerie in Paris.


To see the paintings side by side in this place is breathtaking.


When you see his pictures in the National Gallery, you think, yes, not bad, but sittting surrounded by them in the Orangerie is amazing.
Reply:that he liked lilies
Reply:He was experimenting with light and colour as evident in his studies of haystacks and train stations and cathedrals.I don't think he was trying to send out a message he was just displaying his artistic endeavours and discoveries


.But that is just what i think; which is surely the point- to make you think .So what do you think?

Reply:I remember watching a programme about him, but it was a long time ago now, basically from what I can remember, he studied the effects of LIGHT on different things, so I guess there is your answer, no real message as such, other then for the student to LOOK and observe the effects of LIGHT.





He did MANY MANY MANY paintings of that particular scene.
Reply:Just look at the picture. He enjoyed his garden and the effect of light at all times of day so he painted it
