Monet got married in 1892
His second wife died in 1911 and his oldest son,
Jean, who married Alice’s daughter, Blanche, died
in 1914
Blanche took care of Monet, it was during this
time that he showed the first signs of cataracts
A NEW SIGHT
The paintings done while the cataracts affected his vision
have a general reddish tone
It may also be that after surgery he was able to see
certain ultraviolet wavelengths of light that are normally
excluded by the lens of the eye, this may have had an
effect on the colors he perceived
After his operations he even repainted some of these
paintings, with bluer water lilies than before the operation
