Happy Birthday Claude Monet! 🎂
This week, we are celebrating Monet's Birthday. The French artist was born on November 14, 1840. Learn everything about the art and life of the Father of Impressionism with our special playlist!

What did Monet particularly love about London, and why in 1899 did he decide to set up a temporary studio from his hotel room at the Savoy?

There’s never been a single exhibition looking at Monet’s career through the buildings he painted: in Normandy, in Rouen, in Paris, London, and Venice. From buildings in villages and by the coast, to some of Europe’s most famous monuments, Monet painted the architecture of his time – modern, historic, simple and grand.
