I carefully read all of the reviews on this Monet. I didn't want something overly bright. My painting print didn't arrive til after sundown & when I took it out of the box in a room that only had 1 lamp lit, it appeared to have no color &resembled a black & white photo. However the next morning in daylight I could see all the darker color nuances. My suggestion is this particular print can best be enjoyed in a well lit room.  I am now very happy with it & can't wait to hang it on my wall.
