Claude Monet (1840-1926), is the name that had epitomized the movement of impressionism in art of painting. He had not only initiated that branch of painting, but he had also pushed it further. He did it better than any other painters of his time.
Impressionism is not only the painting in open air. On part of the impressionist artists, the element that makes their work so beautiful is in their determination to paint the reality before their eyes. They do not paint mere reality, but they do also reveal how they see the reality. It is the factor of judgment that creeps into the paintings of these artists. And that makes the paintings of impressionists so attractive.
In his paintings Claude Monet did not only painted reality; but he painted a crowd of other aspects. The seeing of reality, the act of perception itself, and the feeling of here and now: these were the aspects he embedded in his art. He demonstrated that how light, especially bright light, tended to dissolve colours and forms. Real aspect that made Monet‘s paintings so beautiful was his spontaneous, broken, and skipping brushwork. He did this magic of converting the beauty of nature on his canvases by using a very rich palette. His palette carried both fast and subdued colours. He used various tones of all the colours. His skill to apply hues of all the colours was unmatched. And he did most of his paintings while sitting in front of the objects he had chosen to paint.
