Few of the greatest, most instantly enduring works of art throughout history have as much appeal and universal acclaim as the floral works of the great French painter Claude Monet. An Impressionist whose seascapes, portraits, and dreamy textures caught the eye of viewers all over the world for decades. His
framed Monet florals nonetheless remain the subject of discussion more commonly than perhaps anything else. From his “Waterlilies” to “Chrysanthemum” to many others, the floral works of Monet are
truly masterpieces.
“Sunflowers, c. 1881” is one of the most popular paintings not only in the category of
framed Monet floral paintings, but anywhere in art history. Also known as “Vase of Sunflowers,” the bright colors and vivid texture appeal to the young and old alike and make it a universally recognizable piece with a significant fan base among both experienced connoisseurs and first-time viewers.
“Basket of Chrysanthemums, c. 1878” is another very popular piece of framed Monet floral art, and with good reason. The colors and texture of the painting are both bold but dreamlike, elevating it from just another old painting into its firmly cemented status as an Impressionist masterpiece. Truly, “Chrysanthemums” is one of Monet’s finest.
And of course, no Monet collection would be complete without the instantly recognizable appeal of his “Waterlillies” series. Not soon to be forgotten, paintings such as “Waterlillies at Giverny,” “Pool with Waterlillies, 1904,” and “Waterlillies: Reflections of Trees” are not only among his most popular floral works but his most popular masterpieces in general.
