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?

Flights of Fancy | 3

When the world says paint the past, Monet turns his back on it — quite literally. In 1867, he sets up his easel on a balcony of the Louvre, Paris behind him, revolution before him. As Haussmann’s boulevards transform the city, Monet dreams of transforming art to match it. In this episode, the stakes grow higher: Monet battles rival Manet for fame, dreams up paintings so massive they break him, and gambles everything on a single portrait of his muse — Camille. Success and scandal walk hand in hand, but when debts rise, friends grow silent, and a child is born into poverty, Monet’s flights of fancy come crashing down. Will he rise again — or drown in the city he painted so brilliantly? "Monet - Century of Change" is a production by Studio Jot for the Museum Barberini Potsdam.

Friends for Life | 2

Before Monet painted water lilies, he almost died in the deserts of Algeria. Drafted into a brutal colonial war at just twenty, the young dreamer from Le Havre found himself in a uniform instead of an artist’s smock — until a twist of fate, a stubborn aunt, and a defiant decision brought him back to Paris. This episode dives into Monet’s unlikely escape from the army, the moment Oscar became Claude, and how one fateful friendship changed his path forever. Meet Bazille — the loyal friend, secret patron, and fellow rebel who helped Monet break free from old masters and find new ones in the forests outside Paris. What does it take to defy your father, abandon your teacher, and invent modern art with nothing but an empty wallet and fierce belief in light and nature?
