CLAUD MONET, France

Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a French painter and one of the founders of Impressionism, a movement that transformed modern art in the late nineteenth century. Renowned for his innovative use of color and light, Monet sought to capture the fleeting effects of atmosphere and changing natural conditions. He often painted the same subject repeatedly at different times of day and seasons, exploring variations in perception and visual experience. His celebrated series, including Water Lilies, Haystacks, and Rouen Cathedral, exemplify his commitment to depicting the transient qualities of nature. Monet's work played a pivotal role in the development of modern painting and continues to influence artists worldwide.
