Orangery Museum
Located in the Place de la Concorde on the right bank of the Seine, the Orangerie is a modern art gallery that mainly exhibits Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings. The history of the Orangery Museum is: in 1852, Napoleon III ordered the construction of a greenhouse planting building here, and every winter the orange trees of the Tuileries Palace garden were transplanted here to shelter from the cold, and the building was therefore called "Orangery".
Many people know the Orangery Art Museum because Monet's huge water lilies occupy the entire wall of the hall. Those huge water lilies, purple, blue and green, with deep and shallow light and shadow, flow the stories of time and the master in the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Orangery. Tourists walk in the painting, the water lilies become the "background", and the people who come to appreciate them enter the painting frame. The paintings of the master are connected with the vivid figures.
The Orangery Museum has two floors, the first floor is Monet's "Water lilies" exhibition area, consisting of two oval exhibition halls, each displaying 4 "water lilies" oil paintings, each oil painting is 2 meters high and 91 meters in length.
During his lifetime, Monet produced nearly 300 water-lily paintings, including more than 40 large-scale oil paintings. In 1918, to celebrate the armistice of World War I, Monet wrote to his friend Georges Clemenceau and donated his oil painting "Water lilies" to the country as a symbol of peace, hoping to bring a peaceful harbor for Parisians.
The "Water Lilies" pavilion was also designed by Monet in collaboration with architect Camille Lefevre. Natural light passes through the glass roof above the rotunda, and visitors can enjoy the paintings of different light and shadow at every moment, which is simply the purpose of Impressionist painting integrated into the visiting experience, which is very shocking and moving.The first floor also exhibits a lot of impressionist masters, such as Cezanne, Renoir, Matisse, Gauguin, Picasso, and others, such as:
"Apples and Biscuits" by Cezanne
"Landscape" by Gauguin
"Women with Sofa" by Matisse
Most visitors like the "water lilies" exhibition area very much. The whole wall is interwoven with water waves, cloud reflections, water lilies, willow branches, as if walking into Monet's Giverny garden, feeling the quiet, beautiful and fresh nature, Monet described: "a piece of sparkling water, no horizon, no bank, like an endless phantom." The "Water lily" exhibition area is far away in artistic conception, quiet and quiet, which is actually a good work and worth seeing.
