Aller et venir dans la peinture comme le promeneur dans la nature, c’est l’expérience offerte aux visiteurs des Nymphéas. Somme intimement méditée de l’art et de la pensée de Monet, le grand ensemble mural de l’Orangerie était aussi une entreprise inédite la peinture cessait de se présenter comme un spectacle, vu à distance, pour devenir un milieu, qui enveloppe littéralement le spectateur. Pour donner ” l’illusion d’un tout sans fin, d’une onde sans horizon et sans rivage “, Monet a inventé un traitement révolutionnaire de l’espace : sans limites objectives, confondant haut et bas, avant et arrière, dessus et dessous, à l’image de la réalité informe, mouvante, illimitée, dont la nappe d’eau et sa fragile parure sont la figure accomplie.

Going back and forth in the painting like the walker in nature, this is the experience offered to visitors to the Water Lilies. An intimately meditated sum of the art and thought of Monet, the large mural ensemble of the Orangerie was also an unprecedented undertaking. Painting ceased to present itself as a spectacle, seen from a distance, to become a milieu, which literally envelops the spectator. To give “the illusion of an endless whole, of a wave without horizon and without shore”, Monet invented a revolutionary treatment of space: without objective limits, confusing top and bottom, front and back, above and below, in the image of shapeless, moving, unlimited reality, of which the sheet of water and its fragile finery are the accomplished figure.
