Who was Claude Monet?

Claude Monet was one of the first impressionist painters. One of his early paintings was labeled a painting of impressions and in this way the label was born.

He had difficulty earning money for his art for much of his life.

The light in Paris wasn't good enough for Monet (!) and so he moved outside the city.

Lots of illustrations are on the pages of this book, a nice balance of text and illustrations, I think.
