Monday 9 am we were at the Orangerie Museum to go straight to the two rooms where the famous water lilies paintings are installed. For a few minutes we could enjoy the pictures full impact without other visitors. Monet painted these large canvases in the last 12 years of his life, starting when he was 74 years old. Alas, he did not live to see the installation in 1927.
These paintings invite to meditate and demonstrate at the same time a certain development from impressionistic to abstract art. Visitors are asked to keep quiet and not to take any photos. To give an idea of the art installation I took a photo of a photo in the museum's entrance:
