About Artist:
Claude Monet (French, 18401926)

OscarClaude Monet, a French painter born in 1840 and passing away in 1926, is recognized as a pivotal figure in the Impressionist movement and a precursor to modernism. He dedicated his career to capturing nature as he perceived it, often painting en plein air to express his immediate perceptions of landscapes. Monet's notable contribution to art history includes coining the term "Impressionism" with his painting "Impression, Sunrise" in 1874, exhibited during the Salon des Refusés, an alternative exhibition initiated by Monet and fellow artists.

Raised in Le Havre, Normandy, Monet's passion for painting blossomed from an early age despite familial disapproval. His studies under renowned artists like Charles Gleyre and exposure to plein air painting through Eugène Boudin greatly influenced his artistic style. Monet's decision to settle in Giverny allowed him to create iconic series such as "Woman with a Parasol" (1875) and "Cliff Walk at Pourville" (1882), reflecting his fascination with capturing light and the passage of time in nature.

Throughout his life, Monet achieved significant recognition, with his fame skyrocketing in the latter half of the 20th century, solidifying his status as one of the world's most celebrated painters and a profound influence on subsequent generations of artists.
