Claude Monet

   
          Claude Monet is considered to be the father of French Impressionism. He highly enjoyed painting scenes of nature and calm landscapes in his own unique style. He was born on November 14, 1840 on the fifth floor of an apartment. In his childhood, his name was Oscar. On april 1st, 1851, he entered his first art school and met the man who told him to use oil paints. He also grew an awesome beard. I totally envy it. After this, he married his wife, Cammile. From then on, he moved from Paris to a small town in the Netherlands. he often visited nearby Amsterdam. Finally, in 1871, his wife died of cancer. Monet died of lung cancer  on 5 December 1926 at the age of 86 and is buried in the giberny church cemetery.
