MONET, Claude

1840 Paris – 1925 Giverny (near Paris). Impressionism

Monet’s family moved from Paris to Le Havre in 1843, where the young Monet met the painter Boudin. Boudin recognised the boy’s talent and began to work with him, converting him to painting in the open.
He was called up for military service in Algeria in 1861, but for health reasons was allowed to return to Paris the following year. He was not on good terms with his family, who refused to support him financially. He found more congenial company amongst intellectuals and artists.
Monet has his first public success at the Salon in 1865, receiving a good review form the critic Paul Mantz in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts. The siege of Paris caused him to go to London with his family in 1870/71. He then spent some time in Holland. By the 1870s he had fully developed his style and has banned black from his palette altogether, replacing it with blue. From 1883 he finally settled at Giverny, where he created his famous garden with water-lily ponds, finding at last some measure of peace and also inspiration.
