"It took me a long time to understand my water lilies…. I grew them without thinking of painting them…. And then, all of a sudden, I had the revelation of the enchantment of my pond. I took up my palette."

French impressionist Claude Monet's paintings are world renowned for their dreamy depictions of nature. The transfixing qualities in Monet's art may have something to do with science and the ways in which our brain interprets colour. 

The painting uses a very limited color palette, yet, somehow it appears unique every time. Monet tricks the brain by depicting elements of light, shadow, and contrast to paint the 'illusion' of a 3D bridge. He employed seemingly spontaneous brushstrokes to capture the ever-changing effects of light and atmosphere. While The Japanese Footbridge never changes colour in his paintings, it seems like it does, as a result of Monet using different hues and intensities.
