About Claude Monet
French painter and the founding figure of Impressionism, the movement named after his 1872 canvas "Impression, Sunrise". He devoted his life to capturing fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, often painting the same subject (haystacks, Rouen Cathedral, his own water-lily pond) many times under changing conditions. In his later years at Giverny he created vast, near-abstract studies of water lilies, working until his death in 1926.
