(14 November 1840 5 December 1926) was a founder of French Impressionism and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement’s philosophy of expressing one’s perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape paintings. The term “Impressionism” is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 at the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. Monet’s ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. In 1899, he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings, which were to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.
