Gifts for the home. The perfect gift for the art-loving host in your life, this espresso cup and saucer set celebrates Claude Monet's (French, 1840–1926) passion for depicting water lilies. Monet was a key figure in the Impressionist movement that transformed French painting in the second half of the 19th century. As part of his extensive gardening plans at Giverny, he had a pond dug and planted with lilies in 1893. He painted the subject in 1899, and thereafter, it dominated his art.
