During his long life as a painter, he was tirelessly searching for new ways to depict the variability of light and colour in many various atmospheric variations and at different times of the day.
Monet was born in Paris, but grew up in Le Havre, on the Normandy coast, where his father ran a small grocery shop. He made his early artistic attempts with caricatures but then switched to open-air painting. Light pastel tones found their way onto his canvases. His paintings were repeatedly rejected by the official Paris Salon, but Monet and his friends Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley were not discouraged.
On their joint excursions to Fontainebleau, they created magnificent fresh paintings in the open air that left the strict academic rules further and further behind. However, severe financial crises hit Monet and his pregnant beloved Camille. After the war, they settled in Argenteuil. This small town outside Paris, picturesquely situated along the Seine, became the centre of attraction for a whole series of Impressionist painters: Edouard Manet, Gustave Caillebotte, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley met there to capture their impressions on canvas.
In the group's first independent exhibition, a painting by Monet entitled "Impression. Sunrise" gave the art movement its name. After Camille's death, Monet moved to Giverny with his second wife Alice.
