Garden Eden | 5
On September 5, 1879, Claude Monet watches his wife Camille die — and begins to paint her lifeless face. It’s an image that haunts him forever, but also pulls him back to the one thing that might save him: his art.
In this episode, Monet loses love but finds unexpected refuge in an unlikely place: a garden in Giverny. As his first wife fades, Alice Hoschedé steps into his life — and together with eight children, they build a new world behind garden walls. Amid grief, scandal, and betrayal, Monet plants his own paradise — and turns flowers, ponds, and sunlight into some of the most iconic paintings ever made.
But even as the garden blooms, Monet’s fame grows abroad, and young artists flock to him like pilgrims — inside, he feels lost. Has he finally found peace, or just another illusion?
