Abstract: The name Claude Monet is synonymous with images full of dappled sunlight and paintings that evoke the cheerful lightness of things. Monet was rigorously opposed to the academic tradition prevalent in France, preferring to capture fleeting impressions in a spontaneous style of plein-air painting which shows light in all its manifestations. This monograph includes paintings from all periods of the artist's life showing his early works painted in the forest at Fontainebleau.
