Born on November 14, 1840 in Paris, France, Claude Monet was a founder of Impressionism and is probably it’s best known artist.
The term “impressionism” came from his painting, Impression Sunrise. He may also be the most prolific of the Impressionist painters producing many plein-air impressionist paintings.
Many people think immediately of Giverny and his garden when thinking of Monet. His water-lily paintings are some of his most famous. Read more about Monet here and see his works.
