How does your garden grow? The world of planting, growing, harvesting is a lifelong rewarding way of life – unfolding joys over the process. Leaning to the Master of floral gardening, Monet developed his earthy footsteps carefully in creating the most abundant floral gardens of the centuries. A bountiful profusion that lingers on over many lifetimes. K.J.Lee

“Since 2007 the Gallery and the Norton Simon’s series of loan exchanges have shared rarely lent works with new audiences on the East and West coasts,” said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art, Washington. “The special installation of Monet’s two renditions of The Artist’s Garden at Vétheuil allows us to learn more about the creation of the Gallery’s painting. We are grateful to the Norton Simon for their loan, which is a wonderful temporary addition to the outstanding works by Monet on view in our permanent collection galleries, including several others created during the artist’s time in Vétheuil.”

Two of Claude Monet’s paintings of the garden at his home in Vétheuil, France, were on view together for the first time since they were created more than 100 years ago as part of a long-term series of loan exchanges between the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena.
On view, Norton Simon version of The Artist’s Garden at Vétheuil (1881) is believed to have served as the basis for the Gallery’s canvas of the same title. The paintings are the only two of the four known works Monet painted of this scene currently in public collections. They are a rare example of Monet reworking a scene painted en plein air later in his studio until he reached his final, magnificent composition.
