Claude Monet, also known as Oscar-Claude Monet or Claude Oscar Monet
|
was born to Adolphe and Louise-Justine Monet of 45 Rue Laffitte,
|
in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.
|
<p>
|
He was christened as Oscar-Claude at the church of
|
Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. His father wanted him to go into the family
|
(grocery store) business, but Claude Monet wanted to become an artist.
|
His mother was a singer, both parents were second-generation Parisians.

|
" 1845 Family moved to Le Havre, Normandy
|
"
|
On the first of April 1851 Monet entered the Le Havre secondary school.
|
He first became known locally for his charcoal caricatures, which he
|
would sell for ten to twenty francs. Monet also undertook his first
|
drawing lessons from Jean-Francois Ochard, a former student of
|
Jacques-Louis David (1748 - 1825). On the beaches of Normandy, he met
|
fellow artist Eugne Boudin, who became his mentor and taught him to
|
use oil paints. Boudin taught Monet en plein air (outdoor) techniques
|
for painting.
|
" Apr 1 1851 Entered Le Havre secondary school
|
"
|
On 28 January, 1857 his mother died. Now 16 years old, he left school
|
and his widowed, childless aunt Marie-Jeanne took him into her home.
|

|
In June of 1861 Monet joined the First Regiment of African Light Cavalry
|
in Algeria for two years of a seven-year commitment, but upon his
|
contracting typhoid his aunt Madame Lecadre intervened to get him out
|
of the army if he agreed to complete an art course at a university.
|
It is also possible that the Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind
|
(whom Monet knew) may have prompted his aunt on this matter.
|
" Jun 1 1861 Joined Cavalry in Algeria true
|
1863 "
|
Disillusioned with the traditional art taught at universities, instead
|
in 1862 he joined the studio of Charles Gleyre in Paris, where he met
|
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Frederic Bazille, and Alfred Sisley. Together
|
they shared new approaches to art, which later came to be known as
|
impressionism, featuring open spaces and light painted with thick
|
brushstrokes.
|

|
Monet's 1866 Camille or The Woman in the Green Dress (La Femme la
|
Robe Verte), which brought him recognition, depicted Camille Doncieux.
|
Shortly thereafter Doncieux became pregnant and bore their first child,
|
Jean.

|
In 1868, Monet attempted suicide but failed to do so.

|
During the Franco-Prussian War (1870Ð1871), Monet took refuge in England
|
to avoid the conflict. There he studied the works of John Constable and
|
J. M. W. Turner.
|
" 1870 Took refuge in England
|

|
From 1871 to 1878 Monet lived at Argenteuil, a village on the Seine near
|
Paris, and here were painted some of his best known works.
|
" 1871 Lived at Argenteuil, near Paris true
|

|
Upon returning to France, in 1872 (or 1873) he painted Impression, Sunrise
|
(Impression, soleil levant) depicting a Le Havre landscape. It hung in the
|
first impressionist exhibition in 1874 and is now displayed in the
|
Muse Marmottan-Monet, Paris. From the painting's title, art critic Louis
|
Leroy coined the term ""impressionism"", which he intended to be derogatory.

In 1870, Monet and Doncieux married and in 1873 moved into a house in
|
Argenteuil near the Seine River.
|

|
Some of Claude Monet's best known work was done in Argenteuil, including
|
one of his famous garden scenes Monet's Garden at Argenteuil which he
|
painted in 1873.
|

|
He worked almost exclusively in Argenteuil from 1875 to 1878. The Seine at
|
Argenteuil was one of his famous paintings during this period. The painting
|
was recently featured in the hit movie Vanilla Sky, starring Tom Cruise and
|
Cameron Diaz.

|
Alice Hosched decided to help Monet by bringing up his two children
|
together with her own. They lived in Poissy, which Monet hated.
|
In April 1883 they moved to a house in Giverny, Eure, in Haute-Normandie,
|
where he planted a large garden which he painted for the rest of his life.
|
" Apr 1 1883 Moved to Giverny with Alice Hosched

|
In the 1880s and 1890s, Monet began ""series"" painting: paintings of
|
one subject in varying light and viewpoints. His first series is of
|
Rouen Cathedral from different points of view and at different times
|
of the day.
|
" 1880 'Series' painting true

|
Twenty views of Monet's Rouen cathedral were exhibited at the Durand-Ruel
|
gallery in 1895.

Monet was exceptionally fond of painting controlled nature: his own garden
|
in Giverny, with its water lilies, pond and bridge. He also painted up and
|
down the banks of the Seine.

Claude Monet made several trips to the Mediterranean between 1883 and 1908.
|
During these visits he painted many landscapes and seascapes such as
|
Bordighera. Famous landmarks were also a favorite subject for Monet in the
|
Mediterranean. His paintings in Venice included the Grand Canal, Doges' Palace,
|
and San Giorgio Maggiore. The Monet painting that was stolen in the movie The
|
Thomas Crown Affair was San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk.

Monet moved to Giverny, France in 1883. Shortly after his arrival in Giverny,
|
Claude began developing the famous garden that was the inspiration for many
|
of his most famous paintings. The Artist's Garden in Giverny is one of the
|
most popular paintings. His garden in Giverny grew to include a water garden
|
and a japanese style bridge. Water lilies and the Japanese bridge were the subject
|
of many Monet paintings.

|
Cataracts formed on his eyes for which he underwent two surgeries in 1923.
|
It is interesting to note that the paintings done while the cataracts affected
|
his vision have a general reddish tone, which is a characteristic of the vision
|
of cataract victims. It may also be that after his surgery, he was now able to
|
see certain ultraviolet wavelengths of light that are normally excluded by the
|
lens of the eye; this may have had an effect on the colors he perceived. After
|
his operations he even repainted some of these paintings.
|
" 1923 Underwent 2 cataract surgeries

|
Monet died December 5, 1926 at the age of 86 and is buried in the Giverny
|
church cemetery. His famous home and garden with its waterlily pond and bridge
|
at Giverny are a popular drawcard for tourists. In the house there are many
|
examples of Japanese woodcut prints on the walls.
