Claude Monet is considered the father of Impressionism. He made roughly 2,000 paintings that are now the subject of fascination for people around the world.
Claude Monet is most renowned for his series of paintings, including Water Lilies, Haystacks, and Rouen Cathedral . Nonetheless, the artist produced hundreds of other singular artworks that confirm his role as the most consistent member of the Impressionist art movement. By observing the colors he used and how he applied them, as well as his composition plan, we can understand how Monet’s artistic style evolved. Get ready to step back into 19th-century France and the universe of Claude Monet’s Impressionism.
One cannot discuss Claude Monet’s art without looking at Impression, Sunrise , one of his most notable pieces. Not only was it the centerpiece of Impressionism in terms of technique, but it also served as inspiration for the term Impressionism itself. It was this painting’s title that prompted Louis Leroy, an art critic, to use the word Impressionists when referring to the artists who participated in the 1874 exhibition. Although Leroy did not positively use the term, both the painters and the audience adopted it to describe the style. Ultimately, Impression, Sunrise became the starting point of Impressionism.
So, what is it that makes this painting such a pivotal piece in the development of this movement? First, it was executed en plein air , a technique preferred by the Impressionists. Secondly, the paint was applied in loose brushstrokes, which captured the impression of a fleeting moment. The work is painted in an almost abstract way, which made it look unfinished at the time.

Monet’s Woman with a Parasol captures Camille and Jean Monet, his wife and son, going for a walk. Like other artworks signed by the artist, Woman with a Parasol is an excellent embodiment of the way Impressionists experimented with light, shade, and color. In addition, this particular painting depicts the playful nature of the wind, which can be noticed in the waving grass and Camille’s dress. The work has a strong upward perspective, with the sky and the clouds making up most of the background. The bright and vivid colors are applied in spontaneous, animated brushstrokes, thus providing the painting with a casual touch.
Out of roughly 140 snowscapes signed by Monet, The Magpie is probably the most famous one. It is also the largest snowscape he ever painted. The painting was executed in the winter of 1868. At the time, Monet was in Normandy, near Étretat, where Louis Joachim Gaudibert, his patron, helped him find a house where he could raise Jean, his newborn son.
The Magpie is a representation of Monet’s masterful recreation of sunlight and shadows. We see a magpie perched on a gate with its back to the sun, which shines upon the snow. Traditionally, shadows are painted using black colors. Here, however, one can observe a slightly colored, bluish shadow on the snow. Monet relied on the effect produced by the blue-yellow complementary colors, which, combined with short brushstrokes, created an effect of bluish-violet shadows. This method would later become a typical impressionist way of portraying the changing nature of light.
The Woman in the Green Dress is also known as simply Camille . It was executed in 1866 and it shows Monet’s future wife wearing a long, green, black-striped dress and a furry, black jacket. She is also shown wearing yellow leather gloves with her hair tied in a bun.
Although it seems like a typical portrait at first, one can notice that just like in Woman with a Parasol, Monet tried to depict a fleeting, casual moment. First of all, we cannot see the dress fully, as it’s cut on the left edge, thus creating the impression of movement. The folds of the dress suggest liveliness as well. Camille has her head slightly turned backward and looks downward as if she were contemplating something. Unlike his later works associated with Impressionism, The Woman in the Green Dress was well received by the public and the critics. People were happy with such a portrayal of a fashionable woman.
Garden at Sainte-Adresse was finished in 1867 and exhibited at the 4th Impressionist Exhibition in 1879. It shows the garden in Sainte-Adresse overlooking the English Channel with the Honfleur commune on the horizon. Once again, the viewers can notice the creative play of light and shadows. However, the figures are depicted quite realistically and in detail, which isn’t typical of his later works. Nonetheless, we can still see the vibrant colors of the flowers applied in short brushstrokes.
Garden at Sainte-Adresse often comes up when we think of the influences of Japanese wood prints on Impressionism. Pierre-Auguste Renoir actually called this particular artwork the Japanese painting . It is thought to have been inspired by the Japanese print called Turban-shell Hall of the Five-Hundred Rakan Temple by Hokusai. The influence can be seen in three horizontal plans of the composition, which appear to be parallel rather than depth-induced.
La Japonaise shows a European woman (Monet’s wife Camille) wearing a red Japanese kimono. She holds a hand fan and stands on a tatami mat in front of a wall covered in Japanese fans. Camille has her head turned toward the viewer, an element inspired by Japanese dance. But hers is not the only face we see in this painting since the red kimono contains the face of a samurai .
After his son was born, Claude and Camille were in great financial trouble, so executing and selling a painting with Japanese elements seemed like an excellent idea, considering the popularity of Japonisme in France at the time. However, what began as a simple way of earning some money turned into a superb experience for the artist. Shortly after he began working on the painting, Monet realized what a pleasure it was to paint detailed kimonos.
After La Japonaise was put on display at the 1876 Impressionist Exhibition, many critics pointed to its erotic symbolism. More precisely, they discussed the placement of the samurai’s head, as well as the woman’s flirty facial expression. Apparently, Monet was embarrassed by the effect the painting had on the audience. He allegedly withdrew the painting from the exhibition himself and told people that it was sold to an anonymous buyer.
Did you know that Monet bought a boat (that soon became his studio) so that he could experience the en plein air painting technique to the fullest? Well, in The Studio Boat , Monet portrays himself working in his remote working place—the boat floating on the Seine. Although Monet made several other paintings featuring his studio boat, this one has been of particular interest to critics. It pointed indirectly to the fact that Monet was slowly alienating himself from portraying urban industrial scenes.
Claude Monet was very passionate about gardening, and his estate in Giverny became his heaven in this regard. He spent years and years caring for his garden and, at the same time, depicting it on hundreds of canvases. Therefore, we cannot neglect this iconic painting, which transposes how much love Monet put into cultivating his Giverny garden. In fact, the garden still exists and it welcomes thousands of visitors every year.
Monet was 60 years old when he painted The Artist’s Garden at Giverny. The painting depicts diagonal rows of brightly colored irises and you can almost see the flowers moving in the wind. He executed it the same year he started working on his most famous series, Water Lilies .
Although not as famous as his Water Lilies series, Monet showed a particular interest in seascapes, which seem to have been executed at least partly on the beach. Imagine that even Rough Weather at Étretat was probably painted right on the spot, despite the bad weather. Art specialists found a grain of sand embedded in the paint surface, which is direct proof that that particular paint was applied on the shore. In Rough Weather at Étretat , Monet focused on emphasizing the magnificent strength of nature. He applied colors in loose brushstrokes aimed, outlining a fleeting moment when big waves strike.

Post readers on the skills they always wanted to have, and finally got brave enough to pursue.
Former House Democratic whip David Bonior recently wrote about learning to play the piano in his late 70s. We asked Post readers about things they had always wanted to try and the strategies that helped them develop new skills.
At age 10, I saw an observation beehive and was fascinated. I didn’t get my first hive until 2020, when I was almost 65. Four years later, I’m still learning, and I will keep doing so right up to the moment when I have to give it up. I’m in the Oregon Master Beekeeper Program . My six colonies all came through last winter. The book learning, observational learning and physical challenges of beekeeping invigorate my life — and regular inspections of my hives add a nice little frisson of danger. My husband and I, and a few neighbors, greatly enjoy the best honey we’ve ever had.
Diana Dickinson , Portland, Ore.
I was a literature major in college, but did poorly in poetry and ignored it all of my adult years. Just before the pandemic, I asked to tag along to a friend’s poetry group and immediately became hooked. Together, we’ve explored both traditional and modern poetry and come to love and feel at home in a variety of forms. Meeting online during the pandemic kept us all from being bored at home; now we meet in each other’s homes biweekly to spend two hours immersed in a new poet or style. This practice has constantly challenged our knowledge of history, literature, geography, science — you name it. And of course, we’ve all become close friends. Today I count poetry, along with the group that brought me to it, as one of the chief joys of my retirement years.
Jean Thayer , Arvada, Colo.
I’ve been a sailor most of my life, first on my father’s boats and later with power boats for my own kids. A few years back, I bought a classic cruising sailboat to use near our home on Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts. The bay isn’t known for calm water and is often a challenge in the afternoon. I hoped my wife would come to share my enthusiasm, but when that didn’t happen, I sailed solo for several years.
When you are sailing solo far from shore, one minor mistake can put you in serious hot water, which wouldn’t necessarily happen if there were a second set of hands on board, as my wife started to remind me around my 75th birthday. A fork was starting to appear in the road ahead.
I’m a pretty good carpenter, and wooden boats always held interest. I attended several classes at the WoodenBoat School in Maine and started to feel a major pull toward building. As I write this, a new 17-foot sailboat is under construction in my garage, and the cruiser’s new owners are hopefully making the same discoveries that delighted me a few years ago. My wife is relieved, despite the sawdust on her car. And I am using a new set of skills that otherwise would have gone to waste.
Rob Hill , Westport, Mass.
After my husband died about 10 years ago, I needed to do something that would occupy my mind and thoughts. So I started singing. I joined a local chorus and realized that most of the chorus members had sung in church or with other choruses. I had never sung with any group and needed help. I found a wonderful voice teacher, who has become my coach, cheerleader and wonderful friend.
But every year, she has required her students to do solos in front of a small group. This has terrified me for 10 years, but I am slowly becoming more confident, even though I always feel that I mess up.
Now I belong to two choruses, including a wonderful gospel group. I volunteer weekly to sing with a small group for dementia patients. They are so appreciative and nonjudgmental. Singing wonderful music has been challenging and stressful, but it has really enriched my life. Am I Barbra Streisand? No, but I am making progress!
Janet Feder , Mundelein, Ill.
I have made a career in music, as a musicologist, but only late in life turned to the instrument I have always loved, the flute. I was too afraid that sounding like a beginner would damage my credibility as a writer of music.
Finally, I took the plunge, and it has been both satisfying and humbling. Learning a new skill at my age is not the same as learning it as a child or young adult. After declining to play in a couple of recitals, I finally played for the first time in a recital in front of my colleagues, friends and students. Was I crazy exposing myself like that? The flute demands not only coordinated finger work but also great breath control and a loose throat, none of which my nerves allowed. Somehow I got through the piece, the Sarabande from Bach’s Partita in A Minor. I was disappointed and elated. I did not sound like I wanted to, but most important, I did it. And my friends, colleagues and students were all too kind; they were with me and supportive.
I continue to study. Will I ever get where I want to be? The pace is glacial, another product of starting late. But while it does remind you of the reality of your age, the slow progress and small victories also remind you that challenges can be overcome regardless of how old you are.
Michael Broyles , Tallahassee
As a freshman at City College of San Francisco in 1947, I signed up for architecture, interior decorating and art classes. During my first art class, which involved sketching furniture, the teacher told me to drop out and take a simpler class. I was embarrassed, to say the least. Later, my mother-in-law was an artist, followed by my two daughters, and I was intimidated to even think I could learn to paint a straight line.
But now, at age 94, I have become a true artist! A local art teacher is giving acrylic painting classes once a month, and I started eight months ago. I was so excited with the results of my first piece. My family provided me with supplies to paint for months. My second bedroom is now my studio.
Beverly A. Moglich , Bend, Ore.
When I was growing up in the late ’60s and early ’70s, my parents allowed me one after-school activity. I wanted to play the piano. But I did want to learn to paint, too. I loved going to art museums to gaze at the masterpieces by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Camille Pissarro, among others.
Time passed, and I was raising a family and working. There was little time for myself. Now that I am retired, I decided to take a big jump and learn to paint. I found a class at my local community college, and I signed up. I was incredibly apprehensive. Was this a class for a beginner? Did I need some background knowledge? Would I be able to do this? Before the class began, I emailed the instructor, and she told me not to worry. As it turns out, my new hobby is bringing out my creativity. Plus, I find it calming. Best of all, I am having fun. I met lovely fellow artists, and I am learning from them, too. I will never become a great painter, but I’m having a blast trying!
Theresa Wiecezak , New Hyde Park, N.Y.
I’m a social worker and former singer, and I’ve always wanted to play the piano like a concert pianist. However, I live with learning disabilities, and one of them, unfortunately, is that my left hand and my right hand don’t like each other. I’ve tried piano lessons various times in my life but only met with disappointment, failure and shame. As one piano teacher said to me, “You have such long fingers. Too bad you can’t play piano.”
However, as an octogenarian, I found a piano teacher who can deal with my obstacles. I, like David Bonior, was in a piano recital with a bunch of children who played much better than I did. But people can be nice to old ladies, and I was received with warmth by a gracious audience. I guess exposing one’s frailties in the right context can have some benefits.
Myrna Orenstein , Evanston, Ill.
I’ve been an active musician since high school, playing saxophones, flute and clarinet. My favorite setting is the jazz ensemble, and I currently play baritone sax in a local group. As I approached retirement in my government contractor job, I knew music would play an even larger role in my life.
At age 62, I studied a textbook on jazz ensemble arranging and started writing “charts.” Finally, I could stop complaining about deficiencies in other people’s charts and start writing my own, based on decades of experience. I’m now 69 and retired and have written nearly 30 charts, most of which have been published and performed. My lifetime goal is at least 100 charts. One of the beneficial side effects is that the mental discipline of writing music makes me a better player on all of my instruments. As legendary cellist Pablo Casals is said to have remarked when asked why he still practiced daily at age 80: I think I’m making progress.
