The life
1840–1926Born Paris, France
Claude Monet painted outdoors to catch light as it changed, and his Impression, Sunrise gave Impressionism its name in 1874. At Giverny, outside Paris, he made a garden with a lily pond, and painted its water lilies for the rest of his life. Our card is one of them.
