In A Mirrored Monet, it is 1916 in Paris, and the painter Claude Monet struggles to complete his government commission, The Water Lilies, his greatest work. To him the painting means regular deliveries of food, fuel, wine, and cigarettes – hard to find during the war. Suffering a creative block, he goes back to his young artist days in late 19th-century Paris with his compatriots Renoir, Manet, and his model and first wife, Camille Doncieux.
