Monet Water Lilies Domed Magnets

Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926) was a key figure in the Impressionist movement that transformed French painting in the second half of the 19th century. A passionate horticulturist, in 1893 he purchased land with a pond near his property in Giverny, intending to build something “for the pleasure of the eye and also for motifs to paint.” The result was his water-lily garden. Three of Monet’s beloved water-lily paintings in The Met collection provided the details for our unique magnets.
