# Claude Monet

> He painted the same haystack again and again, chasing how light remakes a thing hour by hour. That fixation - on flux, on the instant, on what the eye actually sees before the mind tidies it up - made him the face of Impressionism and turned lily pads into high art.

## Bio

Monet grew up in Le Havre, drawn to drawing and the outdoors, but his father wanted business, not brushes. His mother backed him; she died when he was sixteen. Eugène Boudin taught him to paint outside, en plein air, which became his religion. He studied under Charles Gleyre alongside Renoir, showed a painting called Impression, Sunrise in 1874, and the whole movement took its name from that one canvas. In 1883 he moved to Giverny, bought land, dug a pond, planted water lilies, and painted them obsessively for two decades. His method: return to the same subject - haystacks, Rouen Cathedral, the pond - over and over, catching how seasons and hours turn one scene into a hundred. The work sold well while he lived, but his canonisation came later, in the second half of the twentieth century, when the world decided he'd seen something the rest of us had missed.
