Claude Monet

Claude Monet was a French Impressionist painter whose mastery of light, color, and atmosphere revolutionized modern art. As a founder of the Impressionist movement, Monet sought to capture fleeting moments and the ever-changing beauty of nature through loose brushstrokes and vibrant, layered colors.

His most famous works, including Impression, Sunrise (which gave Impressionism its name), Water Lilies, and Haystacks, showcase his fascination with natural light and reflections. Monet often painted the same scene at different times of the day to explore how light transformed the landscape.

A true pioneer of modern painting, Monet’s influence can be seen in countless artists who followed him. His ability to turn ordinary scenes into dreamlike masterpieces continues to inspire art, design, and visual storytelling today.
