Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting. He began painting landscapes, seascapes and portraits, but attracted little attention. His mentor Eugène Boudin introduced him to the concept of plein air painting. And he remained a consistent and prolific artist of plein air painting, in the impressionistic style. His oeuvre of sketches, caricatures, paintings, is very large.

The term ‘Impressionism’ is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant, which was exhibited in 1874. He painted landscape of Paris city and Normandy coasts. He painted same scene-spot (changing images of the pond, the water lilies), several times to capture the changing light in various seasons.

Monet exploited asymmetry in art that highlighted the form without the use of perspective or colour aided modelling. He exploited brightness of colour to lighten the atmosphere.
