With the painting “Impression, soleil levant“ in 1874 Claude Monet established the Impressionist movement of the end of the 19th century. Contrary to the hitherto established methods of studio painting, Monet, and the group which saw him as its intellectual leader, sought their themes out of doors and developed a brilliant style of painting in natural light. Resisting all obstacles, Monet went on to develop the method further, exploring it to the limits. He would place spots of unmixed color next to each other and would pursue a single topic through every time of day and year. Born in Paris in 1840, the artist, already famous in his own lifetime, died at Giverny in 1926.
