About this page
Back in 1999, while reading a Sunday newspaper in Canada I came across an article about the artist Claude Monet. Amongst the story was a picture painted by him at Giverny, France and a modern day picture of the same scene.

I did a little research and came up with a bigger picture of the same scene on the Internet.

This applet represented quite a challenge since the overlay involved tracing around lots of branches, leaves and even blades of grass.

The result became one of a series of applets about Monet. The music - 'Sound of Silence' seemed appropriate.

Claude Monet painted many pictures in his garden at Giverny, France - This picture shows what Monet's garden looks like today.
