Monet and his source of inspiration

Oscar-Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French painter, internationally recognized as one of the creators of impressionism; in fact, this art movement is named after the work of Monet Impression, Sunrise (1872).

His artistic production is strongly influenced by nature, protagonist in many of his paintings. Monet, like many other Impressionists, took the environment around him as a reference, something he made clear with this famous quote: "The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration."
