Monday Morning Museum: Oscar Claude Monet





Oscar Claude Monet – Saturday 14 November 1840 Paris, France to Sunday 5 December 1926 Giverny, France

French Impressionist Painter

Monet is my favorite Impressionist painter and I love his place in Giverny!


This is one of the eight tableaux from Monet’s Les Nymphéas installation at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris and it is the one I really like – Le Matin Clair Aux Saules




Last Monday’s Artist – Edward J. Steichen
Next Monday’s Artist – Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin
