This picture by Claude Monet is one of a series of his later paintings called "Water Lilies". Living in Giverny, the artist himself creates a pond, where he raises amazing water lilies. Monet abandoned the traditional work in the open air, claiming that real beauty from a gaze escapes him. The master began to paint a landscape with lilies from memory in his workshop. This method of work filled the paintings with warmth, and reality harmoniously intertwined with abstraction.

The prior of the New Jerusalem residence, hieromonk Roman, has been the confessor of the St. Nicholas sisterhood of Mercy for many years. Sisters of Mercy have the service of caring for the elderly. Every year on May 9, sisterhood joins the congratulations of war veterans in Victory Park. Paying homage to the hard work that befell to the people who went through the war, the Sisters of Mercy thanked their heroes and presented them with carnations.

May is the month of the beginning of a series of voluntary Saturday works, which lasted until the first cold autumn days.

However, Cimabue was able to achieve high mastery in creating a rigid, structural form and a clear, logically verified composition, especially in late works.
