Monet's "The Water-Lily Pond"

Oh, to be in York and to see this painting again. I'm pretty sure I saw it at the National Gallery. "York Art Gallery is showing Monet's masterpiece The Water-Lily Pond, on loan from the National Gallery as part of their 200th birthday celebrations, sharing 12 of the nation's most iconic paintings across the UK. Monet's The Water-Lily Pond was completed in 1899 and is an instantly recognisable masterpiece by one of the biggest figures in art history. A programme of activity will be developed around the display, encompassing both the gallery and its gardens."
