Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) is the artist behind renowned paintings like ‘The Water Lily Pond,’ ‘Impression, Sunrise’ and ‘Woman with a Parasol.’ He is widely known as the founding father of the Impressionist art movement, which swept through Europe in the late 1800s.
Monet lived in France for the vast majority of his life and strove to reflect snatches of life in France in his artwork. He was also known to visit London on occasion, which inspired him to paint ‘The Thames below Westminster,’ ‘Houses of Parliament’ and others.
Claude Monet’s art style was characterised by his creative use of light and colour to depict nature. He utilised brightness and shadow to add depth to his artwork that few have matched. His quick, thin brush strokes bring out the beauty of nature in his works.
Unlike some of his predecessors, most of Monet’s paintings depicted scenes from the natural world, rather than making people and cities the focus of his work.
‘The Water Lily Pond’ is one of the most widely recognisable paintings to come out of the Impressionist movement. Monet painted it outside his own home in Giverny. It stands out for the short strokes that Monet came to be known for later in life and was inspired both by Japanese art and earlier European works, as well as by literature.
Another of Claude Monet’s more well-known works is ‘Impression, Sunrise,’ which depicts a harbour in Le Havre in the early morning. It’s a perfect example of Monet’s mastery over light and shadow on the canvas: it depicts the silhouettes of boats and ships against the horizon in various shades of grey.
When looking at a Monet print, one of the first adjectives that comes to most people is ‘soothing.’ His work gives its viewers a snapshot of the natural world at its most beautiful and peaceful in a brief moment in time. Owning a Monet print and being able to gaze at it daily is good for the soul.
