CLAUDE MONET Claude Monet (1840-1926)
was one of the founders of the impressionist movement

influential figure in the movement

home in Giverny.
 Lady with a Parasol (1886)
Oil on canvas - Louvre, Paris
- One of Monet's most popular figure
paintings, Lady with a
Parasol showcases the parasol, one of
his longstanding themes.
- The parasol itself makes many
appearances in his work, primarily
because when painting from real life
outdoors, most women would use one
to protect their skin and eyes.
- But it also creates a contrast of light and
shadows on the figure's face and
clothing, indicating which direction the
actual light is coming from
 Water Lilies (1916)
Oil on canvas - The National Museum of
Western Art, Tokyo
- Water Lilies is a part of
Monet's water landscape
group that was most likely
conceived in 1909,

dozens of canvases creating
a panorama of water, lilies
and sky in his studio within
and inspired by his Giverny
garden.
