HIS LIFE
HIS EARLY LIFE
Claude Monet, also known as Oscar-Claude Monet or Claude Oscar Monet, was one of the founders of French
Impressionist painting and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the philosophy of movement to express
one's perceptions before nature, especially when applied to the painting of air outdoor landscape. The term
Impressionism comes from the title of his Impression painting, Sunrise.

He was the second child of Claude-Adolphe and Louise-Justine Aubrée Monet, both second generation Parisians. On
May 20, 1841 he was baptized in the local church parish, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette as Oscar-Claude. In 1845 his family
moved to Le Havre in Normandy. His father wanted him to enter the family of the families, but Claude Monet wanted
to become an artist. Her mother was a singer.

On April 1, 1851, Monet entered the Havre Secondary School of the Arts. He became known for the first time for his
charcoal caricatures, which he would sell ten to twenty francs. Monet also resumed his first hours of drawing by
Jacques-François Ochard, a former student of Jacques-Louis David. Around 1856/1857, he met fellow artist Eugène
Boudin on the beaches of Normandy, who became his mentor and taught him how to use oil paint. Boudin taught
Monet the techniques of painting "en plein air" (in the open air).

On January 28, 1857, his mother died. He was 16 when he left school and lived with his widowed and childless aunt,
Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.
HIS LATER LIFE
After several difficult months following Camille's death on September 5, 1879, a grieving Monet (determined never to
fall back into poverty) began in earnest to create some of his finest 19th-century paintings. In the early 1880s, Monet
painted various groups of landscapes and seascapes, which he considered campaigns to document the French
countryside. His vast campaigns turned into serial images of him.

In 1878, the Monets moved temporarily into the house of Ernest Hoschedé (1837-1891), a wealthy owner of department
stores and patron of the arts. The two families then shared a house in Vétheuil in the summer. After the bankruptcy of
her husband (Ernest Hoschedé) and his departure for Belgium in 1878, in September 1879, and while Monet continued
to live in the house of Vétheuil; Alice Hoschedé helped Monet raise his two sons, Jean and Michel, by taking them to
Paris to live with their six children. They were Blanche, Germaine, Suzanne, Marthe, Jean-Pierre and Jacques. In the
spring of 1880, Alice Hoschedé left Paris with all her children and returned to Monet, who still lived in the house in
Vétheuil. In 1881, they all settled in Poissy, which Monet hated. From the door of the little train between Vernon and
Gasny, he saw Giverny. In April 1883 they settled in Vernon, then in a house in Giverny, in Eure, in Upper Normandy,
where he planted a large garden in which he painted all his life. After the death of her estranged husband, Alice
Hoschedé married Claude Monet in 1892.

FUNCTION
AND
PURPOSE
Function and Purpose
Claude Monet became well-known for founding,
establishing, and steadfastly supporting the
Impressionist movement. In his art, he didn't try to
faithfully depict a subject as it was carefully inspected;
instead, he tried to capture the impression that a casual,
fleeting view of the scene provided him.

MONET
ARTWORKS
Artwork 1
Late in 1871, Monet moved to suburban Argenteuil with Manet's
help, beginning one of the most productive periods of his career.
The aim to provide full-scale, multi-figure representations of
common people in informal outdoor settings gave rise to
impressionism in the late 1860s. Monet's favorite subject, landscape
painting, was where impressionism was most at home. He
demonstrates his abilities as a figure painter in Woman with a
Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son. In contrast to the artificial
rules of academic portraiture, Monet gave his sitters' features as
much freedom of expression as their surroundings. The final
painting received accolades for its spontaneity and authenticity
when it debuted in the second impressionist exhibition in 1876.

Outdoors, a woman with a parasol was painted.

Artwork 2
The water-lily garden was created as a
result of Monet's 1893 purchase of land
with a pond close to his Giverny home.
Monet was an avid gardener and
intended to create something "for the
delight of the eye and also for motifs to
paint." He started an eighteen-view
series of the wooden footbridge over
the pond in 1899 and finished twelve
paintings, including this one, that
summer. The picture's distinctive
vertical arrangement in this series
highlights the water lilies and their
pond reflections.
