Painted between 1918 and 1919, #ClaudeMonet's 'Saule pleureur' is one of a series of ten monumental #paintings, each of which depict one of the majestic #weepingwillow trees that lined #Monet’s famed #waterlily pond at his home in #Giverny.
.
Following the death of the artist’s eldest son, in 1914, #Monet had been working with a fearsome resolve on what came to be known as his Grandes décorations. Born from an earlier idea to create an immersive decorative scheme based on his waterlily paintings, this ambitious, all-consuming and ground-breaking project consisted of paintings on a scale never before seen in the artist’s career.
.
The formidable verticality of the weeping willow series has come to represent the artist’s resolve and patriotic fervour at the conclusion of the First World War.
