What type of artist was Monet?

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French painter and one of the founders of Impressionism. Impressionist paintings can be recognized by their liberal application of color, visible brushstrokes, and emphasis on light. Impressionists like Monet applied paint quickly, not worrying about how smooth or finished the final painting appeared. This was in direct contrast to academic art, the popular style of art in Monet's time. Monet and the Impressionists also had a penchant for painting mundane subjects, such as landscapes and scenes of daily life in the city and countryside. Monet is most famous for his series of paintings on the same subject; his series Water Lilies is comprised of about 250 oil paintings that depict his garden at Giverny. Monet and the Impressionists painted the same thing so many times because they were trying to capture the fleeting appearance of light in nature at different times of the day.


What museum can you see Monet's water lillies?

Impressionist painter Claude Monet's series Water Lilies,also known as Nympheas, can be seen in museums all over the world, including museums in Paris, Wales, New York, Chicago, Saint Louis, Portland, Kansas City, and Cleveland. The series is comprised of nearly 250 oil paintings executed over the last three decades of Monet's life. The subject of the paintings is Monet's flower garden at Giverny, depicted at different times of the day and in different seasons. Eight large paintings depicting the Water Lilies were painted for the French government and were to be placed in a museum at the Musee de l'Orangerie. Monet signed the contract for this commission in April 1922 and worked closely with Camille Lefevre, the head architect of the Louvre, to design plans for the building that would display Monet's paintings. Construction was complete in 1923, but Monet refused to hand over his paintings and the canvases remained in his possession until Monet died on December 5, 1926. The paintings went on display to the public at the Musee de l'Orangerie on May 17, 1927, nearly two years after Monet's death.
