Monet's Garden at the Botanical Gardens
Documenting the role that the iconic garden in Giverny played in artist Claude Monet’s life and work, "The Artist in the Garden" in the Rondina Gallery at The New York Botanical Garden will bring together for the first time two rarely seen paintings by the Impressionist master, as well as his paint-encrusted wooden palette and an evocative array of historical photographs that show the artist creating and enjoying his garden.

On display in the Library building from May 19 through October 21, 2012, the exhibition will be a major component of Monet’s Garden. The Botanical Garden’s multifaceted exhibition devoted to one of the most enduringly popular painters of all time will feature elements in several venues throughout the Botanical Garden, including a seasonally changing interpretation of the glorious flower garden and water lily pond at Monet’s home in Giverny that inspired some of the artist’s most beloved masterpieces.
