Claude Monet Oil Painting | Hand-painted Claude Monet Paintings Art Reproduction on canvas SALE

Claude Monet, born Oscar Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 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, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant).

Claude Monet's life works were impressionist paintings. These works of art heavily influenced other exalted painters such as Edgar Degas and Pierre Auguste Renoir. Monet was considered the more radical of the impressionists and definitely one of the leaders of the Impressionist movement, which is still considered one of the most important of the modern art world. Here are some great examples of Monet oil paintings.

Oscar Claude Monet was born in Paris, attending the Swiss Academy for one year in 1859. Later studying in the studio of Glenyre he met Sisley and Renoir and the three of them began the Impressionist movement. He moved to Giverny in 1883 where he began oil painting his home and the lily ponds and gardens in his beloved yard.
