About This Design

MONET Water Lily Pond 1897 Postcard

MONET Water Lily Pond 1897 Postcard

French Impressionist painter, Claude Monet, painted this "Water Lily Pond 1897" originally as an oil on canvas painting from the inspirations of his own backyard in Giverny, France, around the turn of the 20th Century. A collector of Japanese wood cut prints portraying Japanese gardens, Monet attempted to re-create the magic in his own water pond, much to the dismay of his neighbors who feared he might pollute the river Seine. The lovely picturesque Japanese footbridge over the pond was just such an addition to the landscape by Monet. Never before had an artist set out to create the scenes from nature which he was about to paint. In a sense, he created his art twice. The more paintings he sold, the more his gardens evolved until he eventually employed a staff of seven gardeners to manage his greenhouse and grounds. Vibrant green tones engulf this water lily pond creation complete with flowers in full bloom and a Japanese footbridge.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
