The French painter Claude Monet loved to paint outdoors to study the effects of light and color on his subjects. He painted a harbor scene at Le Havre, France, entitled Impression, Sunrise in 1872-73, and it was from this title that his painting style and that of his artist friends became known as Impressionism. In his works, Monet tried to show a certain moment of light before it changed, and he applied dots and dabs of colors to canvases in quick strokes. In this biography, students learn about Monet’s striving to exhibit with the famous Salon in Paris, his working on very large canvases, his family life, and his home at Giverny.
