Monet Art Prints

Claude Monet, born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, is one of the most influential figures in Western art and a pioneer of the Impressionist movement. Known for his innovative approach to capturing light and color, Monet revolutionized landscape painting with works like "Impression, Sunrise," which gave the movement its name.

Monet's technique of painting en plein air allowed him to depict the changing qualities of light and atmosphere in nature. His iconic series, including "Water Lilies," "Haystacks," and "Rouen Cathedral," showcase his mastery in rendering the transient beauty of the natural world.

Monet's later years were spent in Giverny, where his gardens became a significant source of inspiration for his most celebrated works. Despite facing challenges such as cataracts, he continued to paint until his passing on December 5, 1926. Monet's enduring legacy as an Impressionism pioneer and a visionary artist is evident in the timeless appeal of his works.
