Blog Assignment #21/Monet

     THE LIFE OF CLAUDE MONET


     Hello again my fellow students.Today we will talk about a famous artist that was amazing.His name is Claude Monet.He is a very famous French impressionist painter,and did a great job of it.This man is so amazing,and the amazing part starts right now.
         Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840 on  the fifth floor of rue Laffitte,in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.He was the second of his parents which were second-generation Parisians.When Monet was sixteen he left school to live with his widowed child-less aunt,Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.In May 1871,he left London to live in Zaandam,in the Netherlands where he made twenty-five paintings.I do not know anout you,but twenty-five paintings are many paintings.
          Monet and Camille Doncieux married just before the war(June 28,1870),and after their  exursion to London and Zaandam, they had moved to Argenteuil in December 1871.It was also during that time when Monet painted various works of modern life.Claude had noticed the village of Giverny while looking out of a train window.He amde up his mind to move their and rented a house and the surrouding area.Monet had lived in Giverny from 1883 until his death in 1926.I hope you found this information useful and suprising.
