这本简洁、插图精美的书介绍了国家美术馆收藏的杰作，探索了莫奈《睡莲池》背后的故事。

1893 年，热衷园艺的克劳德·莫奈 (Claude Monet) 在吉维尼他家旁边买了一块地，他想在那里建造一个水上花园，“既是为了赏心悦目，也是为了有绘画的主题”。

他在池塘里种满了睡莲，并在池塘的一端建造了一座桥，灵感源自他在日本版画中看到的例子。这座水上花园成为莫奈后期创作的焦点，并创作了约250幅画作。

除了概述画家的一生之外，罗斯·金还探讨了日本艺术对莫奈创作实践的深远影响、当时的历史事件、艺术家对绘画桥梁的迷恋，以及导致他最终渴望在画布上捕捉并永久记录花园中不断变化的瞬间的个人悲剧。

Introducing a masterpiece from the National Gallery’s collection, this compact and beautifully illustrated book explores the story behind Monet’s The Water-Lily Pond.

In 1893 Claude Monet, a keen gardener, bought a plot of land next to his house in Giverny, where he wanted to create a water garden ‘both for the pleasure of the eye and for the purpose of having subjects to paint’.

He filled the pond with water lilies and built a bridge at one end, inspired by examples he had seen in Japanese prints. This water garden became the focus of Monet’s later career and the subject of some 250 paintings.

Alongside an overview of the painter’s life, Ross King considers the profound impact of Japanese art on Monet’s working practice, the historical events of the time, the artist’s fascination with painting bridges, and the personal tragedy that led to his ultimate desire to capture and immortalise on canvas a succession of ever-changing moments in his garden.
