The artist's garden at Giverny, Impressionist painting at Musée d'Orsay, France

Le Jardin de l'artiste à Giverny is an oil on canvas painted by Claude Monet in 1900, now in the Musée d'Orsay. It shows diagonal rows of purple and pink irises under trees whose dappled light alters the flowers' tones, with Monet's house visible beyond the foliage. The surface is built from short, visible brushstrokes.

Monet painted this canvas in 1900, the year he turned 60 and had already built an immense body of work. That same year he began two major series: views of the River Thames in London and the water gardens at Giverny, including water lily paintings such as The Waterlily Pond, now in Boston. His dealer Durand-Ruel showed recent works, among them a dozen Waterlilies, and bought Renoir's Mosque (Arabian Festival).

The title references Monet's own garden at Giverny, which he cultivated with great care as an endless source of artistic inspiration. Visitors can walk through this same garden today and encounter the plantings and water features that became central to his painted work.

The painting hangs in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and is accessible during regular visiting hours. Its moderate size and central location in the museum make it straightforward to locate without specialized navigation.

In June 2023, climate activists smeared red paint on this canvas while it hung at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, pressing the Swedish government on greenhouse gas emissions; the paint caused no lasting damage. The work has also travelled to Australia, Belgium, Korea, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and the United States.
