Review: Well Researched story of Monet - This is a great story of Monet and his work on the water lillie paintings, but it it so much more, it tells an interwoven story of Monet, his family and freinds, the world he lived in and his own thoughts. This is backed up with quotes from the many letters people once wrote. Ross King has a great style of telling you a story with a lot of facts and making it entertaining. Great book.
Review: Definitely worth reading - It's an amazingly in-depth portrayal of Monet in his last years and the impact of World War I and his declining eyesight on his art and temperament. Perfect for someone who loves art history.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can someone write yet another portrait of Monet?
*by C***C on March 11, 2018*

This is not a biography of Monet’s life. It is not a review of his prolific body of work. It is a story of the last 20 years or so, of the last living, and arguably greatest, Impressionist artist. The story is well positioned amidst the historical transition in France from the Belle Epoch through the horrors of German occupation in WWI. Some reviewers were disappointed by the focus on Clemenceau....I felt it was a bonus. Their lives were clearly intertwined, and I felt that I learned a lot about the marvelous old Tiger and his own epic role in history, and his strong advocacy for Monet. My strong likes include the accurate portrayal of Monet’s retreat to Giverny, and how he generated hundreds of paintings with his intermingled love of gardening on a grand scale. Compared to a sterile or idealized portrayal of Monet, I love the portrayal of Monet’s humanistic features: the good and the bad. We witness an artist, recognizing that he is past his prime, and close to death, physically and mentally struggling to complete one last epic work: the Grand Decoration. These are the black times in the closing years of any great artist. The book could well be considered the final chapter of Mr. King’s wonderful book “The Judgement of Paris”. Without reading that book first, “Mad Enchantment” could seem very incomplete. We learn for instance, that there are still strong critics of the whole Impressionist movement in the 1920’s, just as there were at the start of the Impressionist movement. Also since this book focuses on the struggles to complete the Grand Decoration with the water lilies, it skims over the dozens, if not hundreds, of other paintings produced by Monet during this time. If the story line seems disjointed it’s because Monet's efforts were mercurial during this period, ranging from frenetic painting, to months of inactivity, to months of physical struggling with his cataracts. Mr King is a great story teller. His great skill is placing the subject of his writings into appropriate historical context. He did the same with “Brunelleschi’s Dome”. I came away with a real sense of Monet’s last years, a greater impression of his will to live and create, and a real sadness for his personal struggles at the end of his life. He becomes “knowable” like a real acquaintance....and perhaps that is the greatest feat of Mr. King’s work. For readers who want a complete overview of the life of Monet and his work, there are other bibliographies. Carla Rachman’s 1997 effort for the Phaidon series of artists, is a good example. In fact there are many similarities of how Rachman and King record the last years of Monet’s life.
