Canberra - NGA - Monet exhibition

If you have a chance to visit Canberra over the next few weeks, don't miss the Monet exhibition
https://nga.gov.au/impressionsunrise/

In addition to seeing this master of impressionism, there are also lots of Turners and the odd Whistler.
Well worth it.

Monet's "Sunrise" is there.
This is the painting that is credited with inspiring the name of the Impressionist movement

I've only ever seen this in text books. I don't think it leaves France very often.

There are lots of his water lilies paintings


and the Japanese bridge from his garden in Giverney



For me, the highlight were the Turners.
I love that guy !
