Monet began painting at Charles Gleyre in Paris. In 1867 he lived with Renoir at Frédéric Bazille. In the following years, he shared a Studio in Paris with Bazille. From Monet had a relationship with Camille Doncieux probably 1865. In 1867, their first son, Jean, born in Paris. The couple married in the summer of 1870. They spent their honeymoon in Trouville, but because of the war between France and Prussia they fled to London. Via Netherlands, including four months in Zaandam and a short stay in Amsterdam, they came back to France, in order to establish in 1871 in Argenteuil. This place was easily accessible from the Paris Saint-Lazare station, which Monet painted various works. In this period, Monet paintings sold well, prosperous because its short-lived.

He was friends with Frédéric Bazille, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne and Edouard Manet.

In 1878, the second son Michel, born, shortly before the family moved to Vétheuil Monet. Camille died In 1879. Monet also now lived together with Alice Hoschede he and her husband Ernest. This unusual relationship at that time led to many rumors and to removal of Monet of his fellow painters. In 1883 the menage with their eight children moved to Giverny. Ernest died In 1891, after which Monet and Alice could get married. From that moment became a prosperous household. Alice died In 1911, followed in 1914 by Monet's eldest son Jean. Jean had married the second daughter of Alice, Blanche. Blanche made as a widow for the aging painter who has become 86 years. ==Work[ Edit] == After first above all to have made, caricature drawings Monet at the age of 24 began with painting landscapes outdoors, on the advice of the painter Norman Eugene Boudin.

Monet painted the landscapes from the area where he lived. In Argenteuil the famous field of poppies, and in scenes from the famous Giverny Monet's Garden, who later has become a tourist attraction .

Impression, Soleil levantCamille or the woman in the green dress from 1866 was the first (and last) painting that Monet on the Salon success garnered.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The painting Impression, soleil levant from 1872 was originally ridiculed by the art criticism and by the public, and gave rise to the term ' impressionism '. This work was exhibited in the ' opened on the orders of Napoleon III Salon des Refusés', where then any other such works were hung that refused for the leading ' Salon de Paris '. The public came in larger numbers to this salon by the ' geweigerden ' than to the official salon, if only to the spot to drift with these innovators, but would eventually get the geweigerden general recognition.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It is virtually impossible to get out of the huge body of work by Monet to make a choice. He was very fascinated by the Japanese wooden bridge in his garden, which he has painted several times (below a version from 1899). The different depth layers in the painting, consisting of the bridge, the water lilies, the trees behind the bridge, the reflection of those trees and the bridge in the water, with sometimes also the reflection of the clouds, shows what a master Monet was in depicting on canvas by what he saw. This is Monet managed in what the Impressionists wanted to do: capture the visual aspect of the everyday reality, without gepsychologiseer or reference to the other classical antiquity or historical themes.

In Netherlands he has especially in the zaanstreek multiple works created, with subject such as mills and typical Zaanse houses. He has also made paintings in Amsterdam, for example The zuiderkerk, Amsterdam seen from the groenburgwal (circa 1874). ===List of paintings<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="25" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Some paintings are:

Examples of such series are those of the haystacks, Rouen Cathedral and the famous water lilies. Monet often worked at the same time to multiple paintings from a series, because the light of day ever changed.
