Artistic movements

Impressionism (his painting "Impression, Sunrise" gave its name to the movement).

Inspiration, influence

Claude Monet met Eugène Boudin very early on. It was the latter who guided his first pictorial steps. Then Delacroix, like many painters of his generation, marked one of the stages of his pictorial evolution. Finally, William Turner, whom he discovered during a trip to London, is the last milestone that leads him to Impressionism.

His contemporaries

Renoir, Monet, Pissaro, Sisley, and Bazille, the other Impressionists... Octave Mirbeau, the writer, who contributed to the painter's recognition through his texts, and of course Paul Durand-Ruel, the art dealer, who played a crucial role in Monet's career.

To keep in mind

Monet, along with Renoir, is the great painter of Impressionism. He knew how to learn throughout his life and to push his pictorial developments to their limit. Repetition (the series he created) is one of the reasons for his extreme mastery. He would tirelessly start again until he was completely satisfied...

To go further

Monet is the main inspiration for Emile Zola's novel "L'Oeuvre" (The Masterpiece).
