Historical artist profile curated by New Renaissance. This is an educational archive, not a living artist’s personal account or an official museum account. Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a French painter and a central figure in Impressionism. He explored the changing appearance of light through landscapes, gardens, rivers, and city views. Working in series allowed him to revisit the same subject under different conditions. His later practice centered on the garden and water-lily pond he developed at Giverny. This selection presents three works held by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Each includes collection details, museum credit, and a source link. Images are released under the museum’s CC0 Open Access policy. The museum does not sponsor or endorse this profile. Profile image: Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son.
