The Houses of Parliament, Sunset (1903) by Claude Monet
About The Artwork
During the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, he spent his exile in London. He fell in love with the city and promised himself that he would return one day, which he did in 1899 and rented a room at the luxurious Savoy hotel, which gave him a perfect view of the Westminister Palace that allowed him to paint several different versions of the building during his periodic travels between 1899-1905.
Claude Monet
Looking at a Monet painting today, we most likely wouldn’t describe it as radical, groundbreaking, and reckless. However, that was how Monet’s work was described when he first introduced the newfound style of impressionism with loose brush strokes and paintings often completed in one sitting while painting outside.
During the 1800s in Paris, you would submit your artworks for consideration by a government-selected jury to determine whether your work was good enough to be exhibited. The painting of Monet called ‘’Impression sunrise’’ was called sloppy and unfinished, but it also gave the new style developed by Monet a name, Impressionism.
Today, Monet’s art is highly celebrated and some of the most expensive paintings of all time, but that wasn’t always the case; in the 1870’s he lived in extreme poverty, and creditors would come to his house and take his paintings as collections because even the greedy bankers realised how incredible the paintings were!
Monet’s wife died in 1883, leading him to search for refuge in Giverny, Normandy. After living in Le Havre, Paris, and London, Monet finally found financial stability and landed in Giverny, where he had his lovely garden and Japanese water lilies, which he continued to paint until his death, and he even continued after losing his eye-sight!
