Welcome, art lovers, to 'Amazon Art'. Yes, it is now possible to buy a Monet online through Amazon. The above example will cost you $2.5m, but it does at least come with 'free shipping' (really).
I'm afraid I'm not an Amazon fan. You know something has gone very wrong in the world when a small London art gallery, like the one I work in, pays more corporation tax than Amazon.

Update - some good customer reviews on Amazon's Monet, inlcuding this satisfied customer:
What really sold me was the "in room" picture on this site, where it's next to a chair and side table. I couldn't quite picture it in my house, but after that imagery it was a no brainer.
The best part is that since I'm a prime member, I saved about 20 bucks on shipping. I also purchased with my Amazon Visa rewards card (3% cash back on all Amazon purchases), so I got 75,000.00 back in rewards. Thinking about getting a BMW M3 or perhaps go to college with my cash back.
