This work embodies the style of Claude Monet, a pioneering French painter and one of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement. Known for his focus on capturing light and atmosphere, Monet's works often feature landscapes, gardens, and scenes of nature, painted with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. His series paintings, such as those of water lilies, haystacks, and the Rouen Cathedral, are celebrated for their exploration of changing light and seasons. Monet's innovative approach to capturing the fleeting effects of light helped to redefine the boundaries of art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.For additional information regarding certification, provenance, or any inquiries about this piece or other items, please don't hesitate to contact us 24/7.
