Claude Monet was the leading French Impressionist landscape painter. His work featured in the groundbreaking Impressionist exhibition of 1874, where the title of one of his paintings led to the name of the highly influential movement. A feature of his style was to paint en plein air, showing a single subject in different lighting conditions, whether it be trees, haystacks or the water lily ponds in his own garden at Giverny. The book describes Monet's technique, the materials he used, and his impact on his contemporaries as well as successive generations of artists.
