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.

Artistic Career

Monet's move to Giverny in 1883 marked a significant period. Here, he acquired a house, developing an elaborate garden, which included the iconic water-lily pond. This site became the subject of his profound artistic exploration, especially in his later years.
  • Water Lilies (25), Water Lilies (29), and Water Lilies (33) by Monet: These three paintings are part of Monet's famous Water Lilies series, which he painted during the last thirty years of his life. (View on WahooArt)

Legacy and Museums

Monet achieved considerable success and recognition during his lifetime, a fame that only escalated posthumously. His influence extended globally, making him a revered figure in the art world. Monet's philosophy, primarily based on capturing immediate perceptions and nature's essence, particularly through outdoor (plein air) landscape art, revolutionized artistic approaches.
