- Claude Monet was a French painted, born November 14th of 1840. He strived to document’s one perceptions before nature. Monet was a very passionate artist who was very detail oriented. He is known for painting the same French scene on a countryside, in order to capture the change of lighting and of seasons over time.
- “A beautiful painting, and also an instructive example in the development of French art.” - Anonymous
- The Bodmer Oak Fontainebleau Forest was named after the Swiss artist, Karl Bodmer. Monet got the idea for this particular painting, in connection with one of Bodmer’s earlier works. The leaves that create a blanket on the ground of the forest, suggest that Monet painted this before he left Chailly-en-Biere. This was the last landscape painting done by Claude Monet for his collection at the time.
- This painting by Monet adds a bit of darkness to the exhibition and more of a heavy feeling. I wanted to add this painting to my exhibition to make it known that sometimes it’s hard to find happiness during hard times, but it is always there, waiting to be found.
