Caillebotte painted garden scenes and water reflections in Impressionist style with similarly vibrant greens and blues, including works depicting his own garden at Petit Gennevilliers that share Monet's contemplative, light-drenched naturalism.

Childe Hassam
American · b. 1859

Hassam created lush garden and floral landscapes in oil using loose Impressionist brushwork and cool tonal harmonies very close to this Monet, frequently depicting ornamental bridges, water features, and cultivated natural settings suffused with reflected light.

Sorolla painted vibrant garden pond scenes with shimmering water reflections and dappled light using bold Impressionist oil technique, particularly in his Valencia garden series, which shares the same luminous, nature immersed tranquility seen in this Monet bridge composition.
