Dr. David Brenneman, director of collections and exhibitions and Frances B. Bunzl, family curator of European Art, explores the impact of Claude Monet's *Water Lilies* on the history of modern art. The focus of Monet's last 25 years, the *Water Lilies* represents his largest body of work from his famed garden in Giverny.
