In the style of Claude Monet - Drawing on paper, 10 x 7 in. Claude Monet (Paris, November 14, 1840-Giverny, December 5, 1926) was a French painter, one of the creators of Impressionism. The term impressionism derives from the title of his work Impression, rising sun (1872).His first works, until the middle of the 1860s, are in the realist style. Monet managed to exhibit some at the Paris Salon. From the end of the 1860s he began to paint impressionist works. This deviation from the taste of the time, which was marked by the art academies, worsened his economic situation at the same time that it strengthened his decision to continue on that hazardous path.In the 1870s he was part of the Impressionist exhibitions in which Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas also participated. His work Impression, Rising Sun was part of the Salon des Refusés in 1874. His career was promoted by the dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, but despite this his financial situation remained difficult until the mid-1890s. At this time, Monet developed the concept of "series", in which a motif is painted repeatedly with different lighting. At the same time he began to work in the famous garden of his house in Giverny with water lily ponds which he later used as a motif for his paintings. This item will sell as "in the style of".
