Video: Claude Monet painting the lily pond (rare footage)
This is the only known film footage of the French Impressionist Claude Monet, made when he was 74 years old, painting alongside a lily pond in his garden at Giverny. The footage was shot in the summer of 1915 by the French actor and dramatist Sacha Guitry for his patriotic World War I-era film, Ceux de Chez Nous, or “Those of Our Land.” The soundtrack is Chopin’s 2nd Piano Concerto.

I don’t know why video posters don’t slow old video down to the speed it was filmed at originally.
