In 1874, Claude Monet's painting, "Impression: Sunrise," caused a stir among critics and a revolution in painting. His inventiveness was endless: with paintings of haystacks, plane trees, and, ultimately, the enchanting water lilies of Giverny, Monet captured light in all its fleeting qualities. Lately, almost blind – "I fear darkness more than death" – he produced fleeting almost abstract landscapes of water and reflection, a vision of nature that paved the way for the art of our times. It includes hundreds of beautiful reproductions and contemporary illustrations, comprehensive text, documented testimonies, and letters. This pocketbook is ideal both for the lover of Monet and for the history of Impressionism.
