Water Lilies and Self-Doubt | 6
In 1926, Claude Monet dies surrounded by fog — and by doubt. He has painted hundreds of water lilies, but refuses to exhibit them. He nearly abandons his greatest project. What happened to the confidence of France’s most celebrated painter? In this final episode, we follow Monet into seclusion — as his eyesight fails, his temper flares, and his paintings become more radical than ever before. While the world waits outside the gates of Giverny, it is his oldest friend, Georges Clemenceau, who pushes him to finish what he started. Their unlikely bond — between artist and statesman — becomes the reason Monet’s water lilies are ever seen at all.

Garden Eden | 5
On September 5, 1879, Claude Monet watches his wife Camille die — and begins to paint her lifeless face. It’s an image that haunts him forever, but also pulls him back to the one thing that might save him: his art. In this episode, Monet loses love but finds unexpected refuge in an unlikely place: a garden in Giverny. As his first wife fades, Alice Hoschedé steps into his life — and together with eight children, they build a new world behind garden walls. Amid grief, scandal, and betrayal, Monet plants his own paradise — and turns flowers, ponds, and sunlight into some of the most iconic paintings ever made. But even as the garden blooms, Monet’s fame grows abroad, and young artists flock to him like pilgrims — inside, he feels lost. Has he finally found peace, or just another illusion?

Art and Peace | 4
In 1868, Claude Monet throws himself into the Seine — but the river doesn’t keep him. Instead, the struggling young father claws his way back to shore and keeps painting. But at what cost? In this episode, Monet battles poverty, scandal, and a war that takes his closest friend Bazille. He escapes to London as Paris burns, finds unlikely allies among fellow exiles like Pissarro, and dreams up a revolution in art: an exhibition without juries or gatekeepers. But when Impression, Sunrise finally shocks the world, the critics laugh, the crowds boo — and Monet’s own circle declares him dead in the papers. As Monet fights to keep his art alive, can he keep himself afloat? "Monet - Century of Change" is a production by Studio Jot for the Museum Barberini Potsdam.
