Favorite Work of Art

Of all the impressionists, perhaps Claude Monet is the most recognisable.  Here his "Water Lilies" painted in 1920 is typical of his work.  He produced over 100 works of art and I always like his round haystacks too.  Many of the impressionists were early travelers on the first railways out of Paris.  A lot of their paintings are of places reached by train.  It's hard to understand why this art was so shocking when it first appeared.
