What was Claude Monet known for?

1 Answer
Claude Monet was known for his contributions to the Impressionist art movement. His fascination with how the eye sees led him to produce landscapes that use color and texture to convey the play of light in environments, and he often painted locations repeatedly in different weather conditions and at varying times of day. The Artist's Garden at Giverny, Water Lily Pond, Woman with a Parasol and Impression, Sunrise are among his most famous works.
