Monet Today

Paintings by Impressionist artist Claude Monet elicit a dreamlike sense of wonder.  Some find his paintings lovely while others find them to be a mess.  No matter where you fall on the spectrum, Monet today is viewed as one of the most famous artists of all time.  There are numerous cultural references to Monet including documentaries, dramas, and works of fiction and people are still interested in FAQs about Monet

Monet had quite a collection of paintings and Japanese woodblock prints, not only his own but also many by other famous artists, hanging on the walls of his home.  However, out the windows the views of his garden rivaled the masterpieces.  Visitors to Giverny, Normandy can still visit Monet’s gardens and enjoy the views.

With the popularity of Monet we see that people are not only interested in Monet fun facts but want to visit museums to see his work and walk in his steps through his gardens.  Many artists are inspired by Monet’s departure from the traditional methods of his day and seek to paint using his style.  There are even free Monet lesson plans that have been created to teach children from preschool through high school about the famous Impressionist and his masterpieces.
