Raised in France’s coastal province of Normandy, Monet’s passion for painting was nurtured under the mentorship of Eugène Boudin. His dedication to capturing the natural world in vibrant color and light led to the development of the Impressionist movement. Monet’s pioneering approach emphasized plein air painting, where artists painted outdoors to capture the essence of their surroundings.
