Impressionist Clause Monet, 1923
Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a French painter who was one of the founders of Impressionist painting. The picture shows Monet standing in front of one of his large waterlily canvases he painted of his garden in Giverny, a few years before his death.
Monet was a bit of a rebel back then; his impressionist movement was focused on drawing reality as the artist saw it, not realistically, as was previously done. Unfortunately, he started losing his sight and could only draw the little he could have seen.
