French artist Claude Monet (1840–1926) was one of the founders of the Impressionist movement and is considered one of the most successful painters in contemporary art. Impressionism, which originated in France in the 1860s, is characterized by the artist’s depiction of the visual impression of the moment, specifically the transient effect of light and colour. Monet was particularly fascinated with portraying the beauty of nature as the light, shadows and colours changed with each passing moment, day or season.

Throughout his long career, Monet consistently depicted the landscape and leisure activities of Paris and its environs as well as the coastline of northern France. Raised in Normandy, Monet was introduced to plein-air painting by Eugene Boudin, known for his paintings of the resorts that dotted the region’s Channel coast, and subsequently studied informally with the Dutch landscapist Johan Jongkind (1819–1891). At the age of 22, Monet joined the Paris studio of the academic history painter Charles Gleyre. His classmates included Auguste Renoir, Frederic Bazille and other future Impressionists.
