The life experiences of Claude Monet profoundly shaped his impressions in art, particularly his pioneering role in the Impressionist movement. Monet’s time spent observing nature in varying light conditions led him to focus on color and light as central themes. His experiences of living through the Franco-Prussian War and later, the industrial revolution, influenced the subjects he painted, as he often depicted scenes from everyday life and landscapes. Monet's artistic journey was marked by a desire to capture the fleeting moments of beauty in nature, ultimately transforming the trajectory of modern art.
