| The Impression of the Sunrise |
1872, the painting "French impression of sunrise" by Claude Monet, the artistic revolution that surprised the artists of that era. This painting recorded the impression of a repeated landscape, which is the sunrise, which embodies the impression that lasts for a very short time and then fades away. In his portrayal, "The Impression of the Sunrise, Claude Monet used the pure color. It was interesting to show the general shape of the scene, neglecting the details and recording that light visual sense of light. Since its appearance in public, it established the painting "The impression of the sunrise" for the emergence of a new art school; it was called "Impressionism."
The Impressionists' painters were not very popular because they had a different approach to painting, unlike most artists who painted in a very traditional way like those of their previous masters. The other well-known Impressionist painters were Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille.
Impressionist school style-Monet
The artistic style of this school depends on the transfer of the event by taking it from nature directly, through the nature of the impressions that the artist leaves in a way that is devoid of imagination or distinction. In this school's artistic style, the artist depends on what his eye sees to transfer this directly to the creative painting. The artists from this art school used to paint their paintings outdoors, through their abstract views of things. This made them speed up their artwork before changing the position of things, or changing their condition, primarily what was related to the changing position of the sun and its reflection on the details of the paintings.

Claude Monet art
Claude Monet was impressed by the town of Giverny, when he saw it from the train window and decided to move there, in 1883, so he rented a house there, surrounded by a garden with an area of about 8,100 square meters. He immediately began arranging the garden according to his mood. Because of his presence in Giverny, the town has turned into a destination for all of his French impressionist friends such as Renoir, Sisley, and Degas, too many American painters who have gone to Giverny and have stayed there for a while for its natural beauty, and the presence of Claude Monet in it. Like Willard Metcalf, Louis Ritter, Theodore Wendell, Leslie Brick, and others, and all of these painters painted Monet's house and garden, and this far-reaching French town with a population of no more than 280 transformed into something like the global pole of impressionism.
In the year 1890 AD, Monet had enough money to buy the house and garden, due to the great promotion of his work by the French merchant Paul Duran. After that, he bought a corresponding plot of land located on the other side of the road, to turn it into a “Japanese garden.” Claude Monet did not He travels a lot outside France, and has never visited Japan, but he was passionate about Japanese art, and he possesses an essential collection of Japanese drawings decorating the walls of his home. Monet has lived in this house and garden in Giverny, France, for about 43 years. And whoever looks at the entire production of this artist, you will be amazed by the number of drawings and paintings that he accomplished in this garden. Many of these paintings were performed directly in front of these water lilies or in front of this small and famous bridge that we see in many of his paintings.
Claude Monet drew these lilies and moss tirelessly, and every time, the result was a new painting different from all of its predecessors. These paintings turned into the most famous and most beautiful of his works, and amateurs and museums rushed everywhere to look and buy them. After Monet died in 1926, the homeownership and garden ownership in Giverny, France transferred to his only son, Michel. After World War II, this house and its garden completely neglected by abandoning it for many years. In 1966, Monet donated the house and garden, Giverny, France, to the state's Academy of Fine Arts.
It took about ten years to rebuild the park. The same flowers replanted in the same places, and the swamp was planted with the same lilies. Thanks to the donations, the facade of the building restored, and the interior walls painted. Even Monet's precious collection of Japanese cartoons has been put back in its original place.
This art that Monet invented in his works led to the surprise of the painters and the attack of art critics at that time, but Monet was happy with his results.
