Claude Monet

Known for his innovative approach to light and color, Monet captured fleeting moments in time through his depiction of landscapes, gardens, and natural settings.

His focus on light and atmosphere, often using rapid brushstrokes, revolutionized art and left a lasting impact on modern painting.
