MONET, Claude
(b. 1840, Paris, d. 1926, Giverny)

Garden in Bloom in Sainte-Adresse

c. 1866
Oil on canvas, 65 x 54 cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris

Monet painted this canvas in the summer of either 1866 or 1867 while he was in Sainte-Adresse, a village near Le Havre where he spent his youth. The painting, with its captivatingly strong and luminously bright colours, reveals the small but deliberately chosen corner of a garden.
