Description: | Select Guide Rating Explore the incomparable reach of the most beloved of impressionist masters, Claude Monet. Working en plein air, Monet’s dappled renderings of the reality taking place “between the motif and the artist” emphasized the ephemeral moment and with it became eternal markers of burgeoning modernism. Hailed the “Prince of the Impressionists”, Claude Monet (1840-1926) transformed expectations for the purpose of paint on canvas. Defying the precedent of centuries, Monet did not seek to render only reality, but the act of perception itself. Working “en plein air” with rapid, impetuous brush strokes, he interrogated the play of light on the hues, patterns, and contours and the way in which these visual impressions fall upon the eye. |
