The story

That monster bush of dahlias. Monet put two figures on the right. For scale. To show you how big those flowers are. As for who, it's not sure. One is certainly Camille, his wife. The other, some say a visitor. But that's not how you stand next to a visitor. Argenteuil was the rare good years. A life that looked like a life. Monet wanted to paint that. Not just the flowers. So that other figure is him. Has to be. The dahlias are for beauty. The rest is for love.
