Gallery Description
Claude Monet’s impressionist style of art is the subject of discussion among the patrons of arts even today. A French painter, Monet’s devotion to impressionism and his ideals remained undamped despite much opposition he faced. His keen observation and the ability to grasp even the minutest of details are reflected in his paintings. A perfectionist, Monet would not even paint a small leaf without getting the perfect settings. Monet traveled widely across Europe in his quest for perfection and finally settled in Giverny.
Monet painted his surroundings under different conditions and light effects and brought out the subtle differences that these brought about beautifully. His most famous works include the water gardens, the flowers in the garden especially the lovely water lilies etc., His dedication and passion is unequalled till today.
As with other impressionist painters, Monet too was very particular about the colors he used in his paintings. He never used pure black in any of his paintings. His favorites were light hues like cadmium yellows, greens, blues etc., As he aged, he was afflicted by cataract that hampered his vision. Yet Monet continued to paint, now with new vigor as he saw the world with new colors that he thought were (and indeed were) more beautiful!
Our gallery brings you a collection of this great master’s work.
