Claude Monet is one of the most beloved painters in the history of art. His work appeals both to the broad general public and to artists, who are moved and challenged by his achievement over a working life that spanned six decades. Fall 2010 is the occasion of the first major international retrospective of this leading French Impressionist painter in more than 15 years, organized by the Musée d’Orsay and the RMN, Paris, which will be a must-see event for art lovers. With more than 300 illustrations of Monet’s greatest works and accessible essays by leading art historians, this lush volume offers a vivid new perspective on the artist and his work.
