Product Description
The water garden Monet built next to his house in Giverny became the main obsession of his career, inspiring 250 paintings. This kit allows you to experience a little slice of the gardens and a new perspective of this great artwork as you recreate the work in the world’s favorite embroidery thread, Six-Strand Embroidery Floss.
Oscar-Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of the impressionist movement which was named after one of his paintings - Impression, soleil levant. Impressionism is characterized by small, thin, visible brush strokes, open composition and an emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities. It features ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and includes movement as a crucial element of human perception.
The National Gallery, London houses one of the greatest collections of paintings in the world. Its collection boasts 2,300 works including many famous paintings such as van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus, Turner’s Fighting Temeraire and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. All major traditions of Western European painting are represented from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists.
