Short Bio
Claude Monet, born November 14, 1840, in Paris, France, and passing on December 5, 1926, in Giverny, was a foundational figure in the Impressionist movement. Known for his vibrant landscapes, Monet's technique of capturing the changing effects of light and color led to iconic works like the "Water Lilies" series.
His dedication to painting "en plein air" and his innovative series of studies on single subjects set new directions for modern art, profoundly influencing the path of 20th-century painting.
