Monet, Claude

Claude Monet was a French painter, a pioneer of Impressionism, known for capturing natural scenes with vibrant, loose brushstrokes that emphasize light and color. His work often depicts outdoor settings like gardens, water lilies, and landscapes, focusing on the changing effects of light throughout the day. Monet believed in portraying a moment’s impression rather than precise detail, creating lively, atmospheric images. His innovative techniques significantly influenced modern art, encouraging artists to explore new ways of expressing perception and sensory experience.
