Claude Monet #15

"....
Within a few years by 1899 Monet built a greenhouse and a second studio, a spacious building, well lit with skylights. Beginning in the 1880s and 1890s, through the end of his life in 1926, Monet worked on "series" paintings, in which a subject was depicted in varying light and weather conditions. His first series exhibited as such was of Haystacks, painted from different points of view and at different times of the day. Fifteen of the paintings were exhibited at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in 1891. He later produced several series of paintings including: Rouen Cathedral, Poplars, the Houses of Parliament, Mornings on the Seine, and the Water Lilies that were painted on his property at Giverny.

"....
L'artiste (Claude Monet) y installe son atelier, qui deviendra quelques années plus tard son bureau-salon-atelier lorsqu'il aménagera un deuxième atelier en janvier 1886 dans la grange voisine.
Ce second atelier dit « des Séries » est construit sur les plans de l'architecte Louis Bonnier. Une grande baie vitrée donne de la lumière par la façade nord, côté colline, tandis que sur la façade sud, face aux jardins, s'ouvrent de grandes fenêtres comme on voit sur ces deux cartes."



"Pour voir la grande verrière de ce second atelier, il faut grimper sur la colline surplombant la Ferme de la Côte.
De là-haut, la vue sur la plaine des Ajoux et les prairies est magnifique. On y voit la Ferme de la Côte,
le Hameau, le quartier du Pressoir, la maison de Claude Monet et le nouvel atelier des "Séries"."
