Description
The famous Claude Monet painting, Madame Monet and her Son was originally painted in 1875. In this genre painting completed in 1875, Monet portrays his first wife Camille and their son Jean on a summer stroll outside their home in Argenteuil, France. Camille’s veil, dress and parasol are all billowed by the wind, with an upward perspective helping her stand tall in the eyes of the viewer. Monet’s lifelong obsession with the nature of color and light is on display, with grassy shadows countered by the bright blue sky.
