Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French painter and a leading figure in the Impressionist movement. He is best known for his plein air (outdoor) paintings of landscapes, particularly his series of paintings depicting water lilies, haystacks, and views of his garden in Giverny, France.Monet's work is characterized by its use of vibrant colors, loose brushstrokes, and an emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. He sought to convey the sensations of a scene rather than its precise details, often painting the same subject at different times of day to explore changes in light and mood.Throughout his career, Monet experimented with various techniques and subjects, including urban scenes, seascapes, and studies of the natural world. His innovative approach to painting had a profound influence on subsequent generations of artists and continues to be celebrated for its beauty and innovation.
