What difficulties did Claude Monet face?

Claude Monet underwent much opposition from other people in the French high society. They were not used to the blurry, insistent colors he used. Monet wanted to capture the play of light, and to do this he learned to use colors you do not normally use in sunlight or shadow patches. Instead of a black or gray, he would use a dark blue or purple. Instead of painting the leaves of a tree just green, he would do patches of light green, dark green, yellow, brown, and blue. Again, since most were used to Romantic style paintings or Baroque-Rococo, his paintings were only well-received by a few people. His fame hit around the turn of the century.
