Claude Monet — Painter, one of the founders of Impressionism, 1840–1926
The son of a Le Havre grocer, he began with caricatures of local notables before Eugène Boudin taught him to paint in the open air. He knew the Salon, then exclusion, exhibited with his friends in 1874, and lived poorly until the 1890s. Settled at Giverny, he painted his garden and his water lilies there. (Editorial synthesis)
