Monet’s house. It’s notable in its use of colour, from the dusky pink exterior to the yellow dining room and the petit salon bleu, where Monet’s collection of Japanese prints is on display. Any of the artist’s own works that you see here are reproductions; Monet donated Les Nymphéas to the Musée de l'Orangerie as a symbol of peace marking the Armistice of 1918. The “Blue House”, as it was dubbed, provided the inspiration for many of Monet's works. Ac- cording to personal testimonies, the artist chose this house among many others because he be- lieved it had the ideal garden for growing vegeta- bles and fruits, which was work that relaxed him and helped him concentrate. Monet himself se- lected the colour pink for the walls and green for the shutters. At that time, window shutters were traditionally painted grey. Monet added a gallery in front of the house, a pergola covered in climb- ing roses and a facade wall that grew green with a covering of Virginia creeper, as he want- ed to fuse the house with the garden. It is said that Monet, who adored strong colours, also se- lected the colours for the entire house, which ensures that visitors can today enjoy the blue kitchen or the yellow dining room. It was in Giverny in 1926 that Monet died, at the age of 86, and was buried not far from his house, in the local churchyard.
Moneova kuća i bašta otvorene su od 1. aprila do 1. novembra Monet’s house and gardens are open to the public from 1 st April to 1 st November
kuć u među mnogim drugim jer je verovao da ima idealnu baštu za gajenje povrć a i vo a, posao koji ga je opuštao. Ružičastu boju zidova i zelene šalone izabrao je sam Mone. U to vreme šaloni su tradicionalno bili bojeni u sivo. Mone je dodao galeriju ispred kuć e, pergolu prekrivenu ružama puzavicama, a na fasadi je izrastao zeleni zid virdžinije, budu i da je želeo da se kuć a spoji sa baštom. Kažu da je odabrao boje za celu ku u, pa e iz tog razloga posetioci uživati u plavoj kuhinji ili žutoj trpezariji. Klod Mone je u umro u Živerniju 1926. u 86. godini, a sahranjen je nedaleko od svoje ku e, u dvorištu lokalne crkve.
