The Artistic Heritage of France
Monet was born in France, the country that has produced some of the greatest artistic talent of all time. One modern demonstration of such talent is, of course, Limoges boxes, which have been hand-painted by expert craftsmen in Limoges, France since the mid-18th century.
However, the artistic talent which stems from this province extends also to notable artists whose works are studied, visited, and collected around the world. From this art-infused homeland stems the work of expert artists whose works are admired in notable museums, and whose personal brands seem to grow exponentially posthumously with every new generation.
Such expert artists such as Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, Manet, and Degas, to name just a few, came from this influential country. It makes sense then that Limoges box artists would want to celebrate these individual artistic contributors to their heritage by dedicating many collectible Limoges boxes to their famous artwork which is cherished all over the world.
At LimogesCollector.com you can find such iconic works as Renoir’s “Dance at Bougival,” Degas’ “Dancer With a Bouquet of Flowers,” and Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” all in one convenient place. You can now bring the world’s greatest museum works into your own home with a magnificent miniature French artist collection of your own.
Monet’s Landmark Home in Giverny, France
France is a true artist’s home and one notable location which is a popular tourist destination today attracting fans and art-lovers for years is the home of 19th century artist, Claude Monet, in Giverny, France, outside of Paris.

This home is reflective of Monet’s passion for nature, life, and art. Monet’s gardens consist of hundreds of plants and flowers, many of which had been brought over from Japan to create an exquisite and unique oasis and a constant source of personal pride for the artist. Monet lived in this home for 43 years (from 1883-1926) and it served as a perpetual source of inspiration for many of his most famous works.

From this place, for example, he painted his series of celebrated water lilies, which filled his personal pond. The artist’s home is open to the public and anyone can visit today to see and feel for themselves the powerful pull of nature on the human soul. Vividly colorful gardens surround his home in modest luxury that profoundly honors nature as intended by Monet as he blended it with his lifestyle.

What Moved Monet?
As much inspiration as Monet gleaned from his natural surroundings, he also was drawn to Japanese art and this interest translated into his own paintings. Even though Monet had never been to Japan, he channeled an authentic style through the works of various Japanese artists whose paintings he collected and even displayed in his home.
Monet adored the work of his Japanese contemporaries and by surrounding himself with the art that moved him, his expressive artistic voice was thus expanded. Monet had a bridge constructed in his water lily pond that is stylistically similar to the Japanese style he so adored. He was so impressed with the finished product that he painted this scene on a few occasions creating new beautiful, awe-inspiring works.
You can find many Limoges boxes displaying Monet’s Japanese bridges in the different lights and seasons the artist painted them in, at LimogesCollector.com. Thus, Monet’s works were influenced not only by the natural scenes he found often right outside his own window, but also from the display of the art work which covered the walls inside his own domicile.
An Inspiring Use for a Monet-Inspired Limoges Box
One recent testament to the popularity and significance of Monet’s home to his fans occurred recently when we at LimogesCollector.com received a phone call from a man ordering a personalized Monet-themed Limoges box. He shared with us that his girlfriend was part of a photography team covering the Giverny home to be featured in a popular magazine.
He told us how much she personally admires the works of the artist and the honor she felt in being a part of this project. On the day of the photoshoot, this creative man joined his girlfriend and surprised her by asking her to marry him, opening the Monet personalized Limoges box to reveal the beautiful engagement ring. The setting and the moment could not have been more perfect for this momentous occasion. Monet would certainly have been proud.
