Our new VR experience “Claude Monet, the Waterlilies<\/a>” obsession” – directed by Nicolas Th\u00e9pot – will be presented from November 12th to March 11th at the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie<\/a> in Paris with the support of HTC Vive Art<\/a>. This project is part of the VR Collection “Arte Trips<\/a>” launched by the European broadcaster ARTE.<\/p>\n

Through a contemplative VR experience, that will bring the user from the garden to the Orangerie Museum, passing by the painter\u2019s studio, you will have the opportunity to relive an ongoing beginning of nature, to explore time and space around the Water lilies.<\/p>\n

The Mus\u00e9e de l’Orangerie<\/h5>\n

Offered to the French State by the painter Claude Monet on the day that followed the Armistice of November 11, 1918 as a symbol for peace, the Water Lilies are installed according to plan at the Orangerie Museum in 1927, a few months after his death. This unique set, a true \u00abSixtine of Impressionism\u00bb, in the words of Andr\u00e9 Masson in 1952, testifies to Monet\u2019s later work. It was designed as a real environment and crowns the Water Lilies cycle begun nearly thirty years before. The set is one of the largest monumental achievements of early twentieth century painting.<\/p>\n

The dimensions and the area covered by the paint surrounds and encompasses the viewer on nearly one hundred linear meters which unfold a landscape dotted with water lilies water, willow branches, tree and cloud reflections, giving the \u00abillusion of an endless whole, of a wave with no horizon and no shore\u00bb in the words of Monet. This unique masterpiece has no equivalent worldwide. The Nymph\u00e9as [Water Lilies] cycle occupied Claude \/ Monet for three decades, from the late 1890s until his death in 1926, at the age of 86. This series was inspired by the water garden that he created at his Giverny estate in Normandy. It resulted in the final great panels donated by Monet to the French State in 1922, and which have been on display at the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie since 1927.<\/p>\n
