Waterlilies - Monet's ultimate masterpiece

Waterlilies - Monet's Signature
Monet painted his famous murals Waterlilies towards the end his long productive life as an impressionist. He worked with fading eyesight and in frail health. Few men have shown such an extraordinary feat. Among them was abstract painter Pablo Picasso. Ernest Hemingway's Nobel prize winning novel, The Old Man and the Sea, pictures such rare quality with sweet irony of anonymity.
What a genius to make a masterpiece with the last rays of the sun,
drawing each like thread and weaving the aging colors of rainbow;
while thousands at their bidding rise early to catch the rising sun,
aiming at fortune - and failing - search it at the end of the rainbow.
