Selected Works Curated by GivernyART

French & American painting, from Impressionist to Modern Art

Village of Giverny (1905) presents a rare and remarkably precise view of the village seen through dense foliage. The houses visible behind the trees are still identifiable today; standing at the same viewpoint with an easel, one can rediscover the exact alignment of the buildings in 2026. More than a picturesque scene, this painting functions as both an intimate vision of Giverny and a lasting visual document.
