Claude Monet

Monet was a French painter in the late 17th century to the early 18th century. He was an early founder of the French impressionist movement, along with Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frèdèric Brazille. His paintings we're often landscapes and portraits. His "Haystacks" series revolve around stacks of hay found in a field after the land has been harvested. In this series Monet makes a distinct difference in the perception of light for each season, time of day, and weather.
