In 1925, when painting the ceiling of the Dutuit staircase dome at the musée du Petit Palais in Paris, Maurice Denis created a visual history of French art and granted Claude Monet an important place among the major figures of Impressionism. He features alongside Edgar Degas, Berthe Morisot, Auguste Renoir, and Paul Cézanne. Maurice Denis visited Claude Monet three times at Giverny, on February 17, 1924, November 16, 1924, and lastly on July 5, 1925. On these occasions, as was his habit, the artist produced several life sketches, including the remarkable Portrait of Monet in Giverny during his second visit.
