Claude Monet Paintings

French, 1840-1926
Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Soleil Levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.

Étude d'un bateau by Claude Monet

By Claude Monet

Located in New Orleans, LA

Claude Monet 1840–1926 French Étude d'un bateau Stamped with the artist’s signature “Claude Monet” (upper center) Pencil on paper Claude Monet is, without doubt, one of the most important artists of all time. Created during a formative period in his early career, Étude d'un bateau offers an intimate glimpse into the extraordinary depth of his artistic genius. Monet masterfully captures every detail of a paddle steamer and a small sailboat in the distance, both gliding on tranquil waters. The subtlety and delicate handling of this drawing reveal the same exceptional sensitivity to light and atmosphere that would define Monet's style. The drawing originates from a pivotal moment in Monet’s life. Created circa 1857, Monet rejected the academic discipline of his art instruction, and instead, he spent his days drawing in the harbor or on the cliffs. His early drawings drew attention in his native Le Havre, where the esteemed Eugène Boudin soon recognized his talent. Boudin took the young artist under his wing, encouraging Monet to move beyond drawing and pursue painting en plein air. Such extraordinary early Monet drawings...
