Claude Monet

The father of Impressionism revolutionized the way humans see the world through his colorful light-filled images. His works, designed mostly en plein air, are excellent examples of capturing for a moment how the splendid beauty of nature is fleeing-in a glimmer of water, in the play of sun and foliage, and in color variations of a garden. The way Monet paints as it were creates paintings, which can only be described as dream-like due to their very loose brush strokes. His paintings are a tribute to transience and give us new ways of looking at landscapes.
