Photographer's Note
View of part of Monet´s house facing the garden, inside photos are not allowed, a pity, there are very attentive guardians...
Claude Monet didn’t t like organized gardens, he matched flowers according to their colors and left them to grow rather freely
In 1893, ten years after his arrival at Giverny, Monet bought the piece of land next to his property on the other side of the railway, crossed by a small stream, the Re, tributary of the Epte, a tributary of the Sene
Never before had a painter shaped his subjects in nature before painting them
Also, that way, he created his works twice
Museum House: Open daily from April 1st to November 1st
From 9.30 AM to 6.00 PM

Hello Maria,
It's nice to imagine that Monet did actually sit on any of these benches, but I guess they have been changed a number of times. There is a fine balance between the darker natural green of the trees and bushes, mainly to the right, and the light, bright green paint of the windows, the staircase and the benches. Red and pink flowers adorn the foreground.
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Maria
non sei riuscita a scattare nessuna foto all'interno, ma di sicuro porti con te molti ricordi.
Piacevole questa scena davanti alla casa, le due signore sembrano aver trovato un attimo di sollievo su queste panchine, anche se sembrano loro stesse le guardiane di casa.
Saluti
Carlo

Attractive green wooden shutters and a good distinct tone in comparison to the tree's green diff. colors, Maria.
Askewed POV added good sense of depth, and the guy and lady sit on diff. benchs gave a human touch to the nice place.
Buem dias,
Ike

Une belle maison et des jardins "en liberté" comme je les aime. Un endroit où on a envie de se reposer, de photographier.....ou de peindre!

Hello Maria,
My garden follows the same ideal as that of Monet, the flowers grow free!!!
This is a very special place.
I like how the paint is green continuing the 'garden' character.
You have chosen a good aspect, giving immediate f/g interest and, also, giving a fine lead into the garden, past the shuttered house. The people add human interest and show that the garden is interactive, not just a museum piece.
Have a great day,
Bev :-)

Salut Maria,
Une très belle habitation avec un bon angle de prise de vue, les lignes fuyantes donnent une impression de profondeur à l'image, joli environnement végétal qui s'harmonise avec le vert des ouvertures et bancs.

Hi Maria
An artistic touch to the tranquil spot showing a simple beauty of the house well framed by the lush garden which add lots of vigour within the frame. The visitors are there as great add on to make it happening. Lovely snatch so pleasing on the eyes. Excellent, Congrats

Bonsoir, chère Maria,
L'on en rêverait d'avoir une maison de ce genre, et particulièrement avec cet environnement végétal et ses parterres de fleurs.
La joliesse de l'ensemble est manifeste et prête aux rêves les plus fous.
Très bonne soirée.
Amitiés.

It is a pity that you were not allowed inside this historic house I'm sure it would have been an experience not easy to forget, but we have to respect their wishes. Nice capture though with good lighting and sharp details. WEll done, tfs.

Hello Maria,
A soft diffused light with the seated woman on the bench nicely animating the scene as well as providing a focal point. Excellent sharpness and the red geraniums at right and the pink and yellow flowers add a welcome splash of color. The opposing diagonals of the bench and the 2 rows of green windows add strength to the composition. Tfs.

Hola Maria,
Don't you get disappointed when a touristic place does not allow photography? At least they allowed it in the garden. The green vs pink of the house and red vs green of the flowers are pleasant combinations. It looks to be a peaceful garden to rest.
Regards,
MT

Hola Maria,
lovely house with an interesting history. We can spot two tired tourists having a rest. Ithey ventured outside of Paris it means they were having a very busy shedule, and so were you.
I like the green painted elements of the house decoration. I would conmsider to correc the pespective although I have just posed a photo with a perspecive quite naturally distorted but I hink in your case it v=could be beneficial.

Salut Maria,
Since I was online for a quick moment, and although you already know how much I've enjoyed these photos...I thought I'd still leave a brief comment. ;)
I surely would love to have a seat on one of these benches as well...casually taking in the surrounding beauty, and presumably, delightful smells that abound in such a garden. Soft light and clarity of details make this all the more enticing to the senses. Simply beautiful! Et voila, je suis sur TE! :)
Cheers from the North,
J
