Wall Decorations

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.

Questions About Wall Decorations

Why is Claude Monet important?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
Claude Monet is important because he was a pioneer of the Impressionist art movement. Instead of portraying landscapes and the human form in an exacting realistic manner, Monet sought to capture how he saw the world in motion, focusing on color, texture and the effects of lighting. His paintings and other works created by Impressionist artists significantly influenced other styles such as Cubism, Fauvism and more. Shop an assortment of Impressionist art on 1stDibs.
