Monet bought his house and more than that, his garden, his paradise, Giverny on May 3rd 1883.
After difficult times that led him to the desire to drown himself, Monet found his home port and he never left it until his death on 5th December 1926. He died in the arms of his old and faithful friend George Clemenceau. As a sign of respect to the painter, Clemenceau replaced the black veil on his coffin with a flowered tablecloth. Monet was buried in the mud of farmers under the flowers he loved. Monet had the elegance of appearance and soul. He had the cult of friendship shared around delicacies. Clemenceau installed his pictorial testament at the «Orangerie», the «Décors», these extraordinary gigantic water lilies that Monet had painted when he left the dark night of his three painful surgical operations for cataract which made him almost blind.
