Beautifully peaceful painting by the popular Monet can hang in your house today! I Claude Monet (November 14, 1840 – 5 December 5, 1926) was a French painter, a founder of French Impressionist painting and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein air landscape painting.[1][2] The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independant exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris.[3] Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons.[4] [1]House, John, et al.: Monet in the 20th century, page 2, Yale University Press, 1998.
