New Monet Bridge and Water Lilies Shawl Scarves & Wraps

In 1893, the painter and horticulturist Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926) purchased a plot of land with a pond near his home in Giverny. With the intention of transforming the acquisition into something “for the pleasure of the eye and also for motifs to paint,” he built his famous water-lily garden. The Met’s Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies (1899), a detail of which is reinterpreted on this lush shawl, is one of 12 garden views the artist completed in the summer of 1899.
