Famous works like Impression, Sunrise (1872)—which named the movement—and the Water Lilies series showcase his obsession with reflections, shifting seasons, and the interplay of shadows. Monet’s later years, despite failing eyesight, yielded bold, almost abstract compositions where form dissolved into pure emotion and light.
A true visionary, Monet taught the world to see beauty in transience, transforming ordinary moments into poetic visual symphonies. His legacy endures as a cornerstone of modern art.
