Monet Link Bracelets

Monet was famous for his work as an artist. The French artist broke from conventional art traditions by depicting landscapes and people in a way meant to mimic how the eye actually sees the world, rather than striving to make his subjects appear as real as possible. An experimental painter, Claude Monet often returned to his favorite settings to paint the natural scenery at different times of day to show how light conditions affected landscapes. Monet's art helped define the Impressionist movement and went on to influence many other artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse. His most famous works include Impression, Sunrise; Woman with a Parasol; The Artist's Garden at Vétheuil and The Water Lily Pond. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of Impressionist art.
