Claude Monet (1840 – 1926), the founder of Impressionism, is one of the most influential painters in the history of art. Born in Paris, eliminating black and gray from his palette, he represented natural colors like a prism, breaking it down into its individual components Monet brought the study of the transient effects of natural light to its most refined expression, ultimately becoming a forerunner of 20th century modernism.
