“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.”
About Claude Monet
Claude Monet was born in Paris, France on November 14, 1840.
Monet loved to draw, when he was a child. When Claude became a teenager, he would
draw caricatures of his teachers and friends on his schoolwork.
By 15 years old, he was recognized as a caricature artist.
Like Van Gogh, Monet started painting with very dark colors, but...
…this is what was really in his heart.

Monet was considered to be the founder of impressionism. At this time, this word was used as an insult or in an unkind way. Monet had
many friends who felt that they were just being different and that being different was good.
Monet died at 86 years old. He painted over 1000 paintings in his career. His final paintings were a bit cloudy due to an eye condition called cataracts.
