| | Artist Profile - Claude Monet, French Impressionist Painter, His Life and Work (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Claude Monet was born in Paris in 1840, but grew up in Le Havre, France. |
 | | The young painters Monet, Renoir and others were inspired to paint the life around them, in unmodeled flat areas of paint, like Manet; and out in the open air, like Boudin and the Barbizon painters, who painted from life in the forests of Fountainbleau, such as Daubigny, Corot and others. |
 | | Monet, Renoir, and by this time Pissarro, Morisot, Sisley, Bazille, and at this point Cezanne, and others were now joining together in their new vision of painting. |
