French painter whose 日出·印象 (Impression, Sunrise) gave Impressionism its name. His late paintings of the water lilies, 睡莲, in his garden at Giverny hang in museums around the world.
Monet is a leading representative of Impressionism.
Tips
culture
Besides the water lilies, he painted the same subject again and again in changing light: about 25 canvases of 《干草堆》 (Haystacks) and more than 30 of the front of Rouen Cathedral.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 马奈 (Édouard Manet, 1832-1883) - a different French painter, often grouped with Monet in textbooks but stylistically and biographically distinct.
