Claude Monet: Father of Impressionism

Meet Claude Monet (1840-1926), the essential Impressionist painter. Rejecting traditional studio work, Monet painted outdoors to seize the momentary effects of light and colour directly from nature. His fascination with how light transforms subjects led to famous series paintings of haystacks, cathedrals, and his iconic water lilies. His bold brushwork and focus on perception revolutionized painting. Explore the brilliance of his vision through these ten selected works.
