In 2019, through an X-ray investigation led by contemporary art curator Ruth Hoppe, an earlier water lilies painting was discovered.
This painting is also known by the names Wisteria (ABC) or Wisteria (The New York Times) and is part of a series of eight works with the same theme, which Monet created with the intention of holding a major exhibition alongside the water lilies paintings.
Wisteria is currently housed in the Dutch museum Gemeentemuseum Den Haag.
The painting titled Wisteria was painted in 1925 by Claude Monet. It is a work that creates a synergy between light and the citrus-like colors of the plant and its surroundings. The composition is practically abstract; only Monet’s connoisseurs immediately notice that it is a nature-inspired painting. The canvas is dominated by an electric blue background that gives way to curled forms and vibrant contrasts.

ARTIST DATA
Claude Monet
| Full Name: | Oscar-Claude Monet. |
|---|---|
| Birth: | 1840, Paris, France. |
| Death: | 1926, Giverny, France. |
| Style: | Impressionism. |
A leader of the Impressionist art movement, Monet’s paintings are recognized as the purest examples of this style. His importance is reflected in the price achieved by his oil painting "Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas," sold in London in 2008 for 40.9 million pounds sterling.
Monet laid the foundations of modern painting. His brush did not aim to tell a story or provide a moral lesson to the viewer, but rather placed impressions on the canvas based on sensations experienced by the eye. The pointillist brushstrokes, which he painted with the mastery of a true artist, are the origin of modern pictorial art.
