Claude Monet was not just a painter; he was a dreamer. In the painting Le Matin, avec Saules Pleureurs (Morning of the Weeping Willows) we can feel this from the gentle touch of his brush stroke. Every ripple in the water feels like it’s touching your soul or the breeze that created it almost feels like it’s grazing your cheek. Le Matin, avec Saules Pleureurs was not just a painting, but a way to show the mixtures of space, light, time and action in this large painting. By using the vibrant colors with the large brush strokes he has pulled the viewer into a peaceful, relaxing, experience. The space created in this painting is just as important as the space surrounding it. The twelve panels of the Water Lilies collection hang today in the Orangerie Museum. Located in the basement of this building are two circular rooms with a dome glass roofs to let in natural light. On each wall of these rooms is a panel of these paintings. When you turn in these rooms, 360 degrees, you would be nothing but surround by the water and lilies. In 1898 Maurice Gullemot visited Monet in Giverny and responded to his paintings: Imagine a circular room whose wall below the support plinth would be entirely occupied by a horizon of water spotted with vegetation, partitions of a transparency made by turns green and mauve, the peace and quiet of the still water reflecting flowering expanses; the tones are vague, delightfully varied of a dreamlike subtlety.
