The Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris houses a collection of works compiled and enjoyed by the great Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926) until his death at the age of 86. This exhibition will present some 90 pieces primarily from this collection, which the artist\u2019s son, Michel Monet, bequeathed to the Museum. Through portraits Monet made of his children at various ages, as well as portraits of Monet and his wife by his friend Renoir, landscapes Monet created during his travels, and works he painted in his late years when suffering from cataracts, the exhibition will explore Monet\u2019s profoundly rich creative world.<\/p>\n

In his late years, Monet devoted himself to capturing the changing effects of light reflected in water. As he painted the gardens at his home in Giverny, he increasingly took the forms of water lilies and a Japanese bridge into abstraction and produced canvases of shimmering colors and light. These paintings rendered in his late years, often with bold brushstrokes, allow us to experience Monet\u2019s water garden through the artist\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will also display for a limited period the painting which gave its name to Impressionism, Impression, Sunrise, originally part of the collection of Dr. Georges de Bellio, one of the first admirers of the Impressionist movement.<\/p>\n
