Publisher's Synopsis
The drawing and paintings of Claude Monet made people rethink the way they see the world, by considering the impact of the changing light on objects and colours. In turn, this gave birth to one of the most famous and influential art movements of all time - impressionism. Using sketches and paintings by Monet, this title explains how he developed his methods for rendering the effects of light, and how he created works that were in many ways more realistic than anything painted before.
