Synopsis
The Art Institute of Chicago holds one of the largest and finest representations in North America of the work of Claude Monet (1840-1926), covering the entire career of this great Impressionist master. This book reproduces all 33 Monet paintings in the Art Institute in full color, along with a number of beautiful and instructive details. Andrew Forge's discussion of Monet's achievements - from the Arrival of the Normandy Train, Saint-Lazare Station to the six extraordinary paintings from his well-known Wheatstack series, from his years in Argenteuil to the creation of his garden of water lilies in Giverny - will engage and inform all who are interested in this remarkable artist.

From the Publisher
The second in a series of scholarly catalogs on the permanent collections of The Art Institute of Chicago, this volume focuses on the museum's important holdings of French and British paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The catalog contains comprehensive entries on close to one hundred paintings, representing the full range of artistic production (portraiture, landscape, still life, genre, and history painting) in France and Britain during this period. Featured are major works by some of the most significant artists of the time: Jacques Louis David, Jean Honore Fragonard, Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin, and Jean Antoine Watteau among the French; Henry Fuseli, Thomas Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Benjamin West among the British.
Each painting in the catalog is accompanied by complete and uptodate documentation, including a detailed description of physical condition, a fully documented provenance, and a critical discussion of attribution, date, subject, and function, as well as a summary of earlier scholarship. Many of these works are little published and some are published here for the first time. Fortyone works are reproduced in color, the rest in duotone; there are also 101 comparative illustrations.
