Early Life and Career

, a French painter, was born on November 14, 1840, in Le Havre, Normandy. He was the second son of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubrée Monet. Monet's interest in art began at an early age, and he received his first drawing lessons from Jacques-François Ochard.

Artistic Style and Technique

Monet's ambition to document the French countryside led to a method of painting the same scene many times to capture the changing light and passing seasons. This technique is evident in his series of haystacks (1890–1891), paintings of Rouen Cathedral (1892–1894), and water lilies in his garden in Giverny, which occupied him for the last 20 years of his life.
