Product description
Oscar-Claude Monet (Paris, November 14, 1840 – Giverny, December 5, 1926) was a French Impressionist painter.
Monet moved with his family to Le Havre when he was about five years old. He served his military service in Algeria in 1861-1862, which may have influenced his later choice to paint primarily landscapes.
Monet began painting with Charles Gleyre in Paris. In 1867, he and Renoir lived with Frédéric Bazille. In the following years, he shared a studio in Paris with Bazille. From probably 1865 onward, Monet was in a relationship with Camille Doncieux. Their first son, Jean, was born in Paris in 1867. The couple married in the summer of 1870. They spent their honeymoon in Trouville, but due to the war between France and Prussia, they fled to London. Via the Netherlands, where they spent four months in Zaandam and a short stay in Amsterdam, they returned to France, settling in Argenteuil in 1871. This town was easily accessible from the Paris Saint-Lazare station, which Monet depicted in several paintings. During this period, Monet briefly became wealthy because his paintings sold well.
Monet also painted extensively outside France. In the Netherlands, he created several works, particularly in the Zaan region, featuring windmills and typical Zaan houses. His painting of the windmill "De Vlinder" (The Butterfly at Rijnsburg) (1886), which hangs in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is also well-known. So is "Bloemenvelden near Leiden with the windmill "De Hoop Doet Leven" (1886), which is part of the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. He also created paintings in Amsterdam, for example, "De Montelbaanstoren, Amsterdam" (circa 1874). Several of these works are on display at the Van Gogh Museum. Monet became known in the Netherlands for the works he painted during his stays in Zaandam (1871), Amsterdam (1874), The Hague, and the Bulb Region (both in 1886).
