Between 1902 and 1908 he removed everything around it from his paintings: the banks, the horizon, the Japanese bridge, the trees. All that remained was the surface of the water, with its light and reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the sky enters the picture only as a reflection, and it is up to the viewer to work out where the water ends and the sky begins. Monet signed and dated the canvas at lower right, in 1907.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting once belonged to Sam Spiegel, the Hollywood producer of films such as \u003cem\u003eLawrence of Arabia\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge on the River Kwai\u003c\/em\u003e.
