One of the more than 250 'Water Lilies' canvases Claude Monet painted between 1914 and 1926 in his garden pond at Giverny. Floating pads and flowers merge with the reflected sky, clouds, and willows into a single field of light and colour in which the boundary between water and air dissolves. Painted during Monet's late years of failing eyesight due to cataracts, the series advances Impressionism into a near-abstract colour-field sensibility that would influence the Abstract Expressionists a generation later. The Cleveland panel is thought to date from around 1915–1917.
