Claude Monet

Claude Monet, a French artist, played a pivotal role in founding Impressionist painting, significantly influencing modernism. Born on November 14, 1840, in Le Havre, Normandy, Monet developed an early affinity for nature and drawing.

Early Life and Education

Monet's mother supported his artistic inclinations, despite his father's objections. After her death in 1857, teenage Monet moved in with his aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre. His education included studies at the Académie Suisse and with Charles Gleyre, where he befriended Auguste Renoir.
