This work focuses on Claude Monet, a pivotal figure in Impressionism, celebrated for his dedication to capturing light on canvas. Monet's artistic principles, particularly his fidelity to visual sensation and innovative use of color, revolutionized art. His explorations, influenced by Japanese prints and his time in Algeria, fundamentally altered perceptions of the natural world. The late waterlily series, painted at Giverny, is noted for its move towards abstraction, marking a significant origin point for abstract art. This biography provides a thorough examination of his influential career.
