Claude Monet

Nov. 4, 1840 – Dec. 5, 1926

Claude Monet, was the original founder and practitioner of the French Impressionist movement in painting. Some of his best known works include Impression, Sunrise (for which the movement was named), Water Lilies, and Haystacks.

Monet focused more on developing his impressionistic style, painting the famous Impression, Sunrise in 1872 which later served to name the impressionist movement . Monet developed cataracts that affected his ability to see accurate colors. Claude Monet even went back and adjusted some of these colors after his surgery. Claude Monet died in 1926 from lung cancer. He is buried in the cemetery of the Giverny Church. His remaining family and heirs bequeathed his Giverny home and gardens to the French academy of Fine Arts in 1966.
