## Commentary

It was after moving to Giverny, 80 kilometres northwest of Paris, in 1883 that Monet first took a keen interest in the rural landscape. While there he became fascinated with the effect of fog obscuring the boundaries of objects and softening colours. It was also in Giverny that he would paint his celebrated series of water lilies.
