Why are Monet's paintings so famous?
Monet’s paintings are so famous because they are stunning examples of Impressionist art. Claude Monet is known for having played a pivotal role in the growth of the Impressionist movement. Instead of painting landscapes and people in a realistic manner, the Parisian artist focused on how the eye viewed his subjects and the ways in which light and shadow changed their appearance. As a result, he painted many scenes over and over again at different times of day. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Impressionist art from some of the world’s top galleries.
