Monet's Passion: The Gardens at Giverny 2024 Wall Calendar Pomegranate

Seeking a tranquil place to indulge his twin passions of painting and gardening, master Impressionist Claude Monet moved to the small Normandy village of Giverny in 1883. Roughly 100 years later, photographer and horticultural designer Elizabeth Murray helped restore Monet's gardens to their blooming glory. Murray has returned regularly to photograph the grounds' ever-changing beauty, and her firsthand knowledge illuminates the 12 vivid photographs and their accompanying descriptions in this calendar. The scenes of dazzling blossoms, graceful greenery, and the famous lily pond may look familiar, since it was Monet's goal to recreate these scenes as faithfully as possible in his many paintings.
