Monet's House 莫內的家

Monet's House

Comparing with visiting Monet's garden, my interest in his house was not too high.
I was expected to see some his rare paintings, however, all his paintings displayed in his house are duplicated and the original ones are still in the museum around the world. Apart from his own paintings, there are a lot of his collections about Japanese paintings which you could see how much he was interested and might be influenced by the Japanese art.
跟莫內的花園比起來,我對莫內的家的興趣並不高,我只是比較期待能看到平時較少見的莫內作品,不過,所有擺在他家裡的畫都是複製品,而真跡當然都被保存在世界上的各大博物館囉!除了他自己的作品外,在莫內家裡有不少他收藏的日本版畫,由此也可以知道莫內對日本藝術的喜愛和深受其影響的畫風.

Even so, I was still very happy to see lots of Monet’s personal and private photos taken with his friends and families in his house—I felt that he looked just like the Santa Claus. The biggest room in Monet's house is his kitchen and dinning room—which showed that he could like to invite friends over for meals. Sitting on the bench in front of Monet's house and I was thinking of this great artist stood in front of the water lily pond and painted for hours to catch the appropriate changes of light and colours. It seems that I could see his face smiling at me from the blue sky and saying “welcome here”.
即使如此,我還是很高興可以在他家看到很多莫內和朋友或家人一起合照的私人相片—我覺得莫內看起來很像聖誕老公公耶!!莫內家裡最大的房間是廚房和餐廳,我想,他一定很好客吧!坐在莫內家前的椅子上,我心裡想像著這位偉大的畫家為了捕捉最適合的光線和色彩而站在睡蓮池前作畫個數小時的畫面.我似乎可以從藍天上看見他慈祥的笑臉並對我說“歡迎妳來”!!!
