Just been to Giverny and to Monet's waterlily garden. Nothing to do with glass, I know, but one mustn't be blinkered. I don't think, for example, that I would have fully seen that Monet's own inspirations came from Japanese art. In fact, apart from the Japanese bridge in this picture, I am not sure it is all that evident. But there is an extensive collection of prints in the house.
