Claude Monet (1840-1926) was the founder and leading figure of French Impressionism, a movement that takes its name from his 1872 painting Impression, Sunrise. Born in Paris and raised on the Normandy coast at Le Havre, Monet developed an early devotion to capturing the fleeting effects of natural light, working outdoors directly from the motif rather than composing from memory in a studio.
Over a career spanning more than six decades, Monet painted the Seine at Argenteuil and Vétheuil, the chalk cliffs and beaches of Normandy, the canals of Holland, the Mediterranean coast of the French and Italian Riviera, and the fog-bound Thames in London. In his final decades at Giverny, he cultivated an elaborate water garden that became the subject of his most celebrated late work, the sweeping Water Lilies series he continued nearly until his death in 1926.
This collection gathers museum-quality canvas reproductions spanning Monet's full career, from his earliest Normandy seascapes to his final Giverny water gardens, each available as a ready-to-hang canvas print.
