From Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen:
In 1878 Monet moved to the small village of Vétheuil, where he shared a house with the banker Ernest Hoschedé. In the early 1880s he worked a lot on the Normandy coast. In 1883 he moved to Giverny in Normandy, where he designed a garden with water lilies which would prove such an important source of inspiration for his later work.
