Water-Lily Pond

Museum Selection - “Painting starts where words end…”
With a high degree of competence and thoroughness, SCHIPPER Arts & Crafts converted all motifs of the “Renowned Painters” series into the Painting by Numbers technique. It is a highlight for every hobby painter to repaint and recreate these precious originals.

The motif: “Water-Lily Pond”
When Claude Monet (1840-1926) laid out his famous garden at Giverny, he used it as a motif for many of his garden pictures. The artwork “Water-Lily Pond with Japanese Bridge” was painted in 1899. In the last few years of his life, Claude Monet had developed a severe eye disease. This handicap became increasingly visible in his pictures. After two surgeries, his eyesight was back, but, suffering from depression, he even destroyed half-finished pictures and sketches because he would not allow them to be sold. He died in Giverny on December 5, 1926.

Picture format and painting template:
„MASTERPIECE Premium“. These pictures in upright or landscape format of 40 x 50 cm can be positioned side by side or one below the other and are particularly suited for a fine picture gallery. The painting templates have a visible and palpable canvas structure. Due to this feature, the finished painting’s appearance is not only essentially enhanced but it also emphasizes the artistic character of the paintings by supporting the desired “oil on canvas” effect. Hint: SCHIPPER Arts & Crafts has matching aluminum frames on offer for this format. Please go to our menu bar “Frame Service”.
