When Claude Monet was not in Paris he spent much of his time in a nearby town called Giverny. Monet may be though of as the father of Impressionism- a style of painting that originated in France about 1870. Paintings of casual subjects, executed outdoors, using divided brush strokes to capture the mood of a particular moment as defined by the transitory effects of light and color. It was one of Monet's paintings that gave the movement its name (Impression, Sunrise from 1874).
