£15/£12 (A free drink included)

By the outbreak of war in 1914, Monet was in his mid 70s and had virtually given up painting, following the death of his wife and the onset of blindness. But as the guns roared on the Western Front, he began the most demanding and innovative paintings he had ever attempted - covering hundreds of yards of canvas with shimmering layers of pigment. Ross King gives an intimate portrayal of Claude Monet in all his tumultuous complexity and firmly places his water lily paintings among the greatest achievements in the history of art..
