ler totalmente Claude Monet: His Complete Art Works (English Edition)

Oscar-Claude Monet, known less formally as Claude Monet, is one of the best known French painters in the world. He was born on November 14, 1840 in Paris, France. He passed away on December 5, 1926 in Giverny, France.

Monet was the initiator, the leader, and the steadfast advocate of the Impressionist art style.

He started to draw and paint landscapes and scenes of everyday life, like cooking, sleeping and bathing. These may seem fairly normal things to see in art now, but in the 19th century most of the art that was made in Europe had much grander subjects such as battle scenes from history, or stories from ancient Greece and Rome.

The impressionist artists were not trying to paint a realistic picture, but an ‘impression’ of what the person, object or landscape looked like to them. (This is why they are called impressionists). They wanted to capture the movement and life of what they saw and show it to us as if it is happening before our eyes.

They often painted thickly and used quick (and quite messy) brush strokes. Most of the paintings before impressionism have a much flatter, neater surface and you can't really see the brushstrokes at all.

Monet faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of his artwork titled, “Impression, Soleil Levant (Impression, Sunrise)”, which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari.

The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media that became known as impressionist music and impressionist literature.

In his mature works, Monet developed his method of producing repeated studies of the same motif in series, changing canvases with the light or as his interest shifted. At his home in Giverny, Monet created the water-lily pond that served as inspiration for his last series of paintings. His popularity soared in the second half of the 20th century, when his works traveled the world in museum exhibitions that attracted record-breaking crowds and marketed popular commercial items featuring imagery from his art.

This book is a collection of Claude Monet’s artwork, and includes 670 of his best paintings.
