As a huge art fan①,I knew exactly what I was looking forward to② most about my trip to Paris:visiting the Musée d'Orsay.Housed in an old railway building③,this worldfamous art museum features some of the bestknown paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century.
As I wandered④ through the Impressionist gallery,I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players.Even though I had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen,nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on⑤ the real thing.While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so many amazing works,the artists who made the deepest impression on⑥ me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters,Claude Monet and PierreAuguste Renoir.
I could see from Monet's works that he was greatly inspired by nature.In the last three decades⑦ of his life he painted mostly scenes from his garden.One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies,which I studied for quite a while⑧ in the gallery.I couldn't believe it when I heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily pond,all in different colours and styles⑨.It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene,he brought the pond's beauty to the canvas in a unique way⑩.
