Various of waterlily pond and bridge \u003cbr/\u003eA water lily painting by impressionist master Claude Monet has sold for more than 40 million pounds (US$80 million) at auction, kicking off a week of modern-art sales expected to reach records that defy the global economic downturn.\u003cbr/\u003eThe painting \"Le bassin aux nymph�as,\" or \"Water Lily Pond,\" was sold by Christie's for 40,921,250 pounds (US$80,451,178), including buyer's premium, Tuesday making it the most expensive work of art ever sold by the\u003cbr/\u003eauction house in Europe.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Le bassin aux nympheas\" is the most significant work from the Claude Monet's water-lily series to be offered at auction in Europe. \u003cbr/\u003eThe oil-on-canvas painting sold for more than 40 million pounds (US$80 million)  at auction in London. \u003cbr/\u003eNestling in the French countryside, only an hour's drive away from the busy heart of Paris, lies the tranquil village of Giverny, home to one of the world's most celebrated gardens.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is where Claude Monet, the French Impressionist, drew his inspiration for his celebrated water lilies and other garden paintings.\u003cbr/\u003eHe painted hundreds of variations of the waterlily theme and donated eight large-scale canvases to the French people at the end of World War I.\u003cbr/\u003eMonet spent half of his life painting in his house and gardens and today around 500,000 visitors come to Giverny each year to see the place that inspired one of the world's most popular artists. \u003cbr/\u003eOpen seven months a year, the property includes Monet's house and two gardens: the \"Clos Normand\" and the \"Water Garden\". \u003cbr/\u003eAfter Monet and his family moved to Giverny in 1883 he set about transforming the garden into a botanical paradise. \u003cbr/\u003eHe planted flowers of all different types and heights, the variety of shapes and colours allowing him to experiment with perspective and form. \u003cbr/\u003eTen years later he purchased a piece of land neighbouring his property and created his Water Garden, which would inspire him to paint some of his best loved works. \u003cbr/\u003eGilbert Vahe has been working as chief gardener at Giverny for more than 22 years. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says Monet liked to work with light and shadows, a theme he explored more and more towards the end of his life with his waterlilies series.\u003cbr/\u003eVahe says the impressionist painter created the water garden to use it as a laboratory, a workshop, which evolved over time. \u003cbr/\u003eMonet even made a pond inside the pond to heat the water and grow exotic water lilies. \u003cbr/\u003eThe artist was constantly inspired by the flowers, the water and the reflections of the sky around the pond. \u003cbr/\u003eMarianne Delafond is curator of the Monet Marmottan Museum in Paris, which houses a version of the waterlily series the 'Giverny Nympheas' . \u003cbr/\u003eShe says the secret of Monet's enduring appeal lies in the passion he put into representing nature in the most accurate way, both in terms of light and colours. \u003cbr/\u003eOlivier Camu, Head of Impressionist and Modern art, at Christies in London, says the painting hasn't been on the art market for decades. \u003cbr/\u003eCamu says that Claude Monet is the quintessential impressionist painter, and the waterlilies are his most iconic works. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says that Monet revolutionised painting in the early twentieth century, by painting what was in front of him outside, away from the confines of the studio, using the natural light of the sun and sky. \u003cbr/\u003eCamu says the waterlily series illustrates the artist's experimentation with light and reflection.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
