A founding father of Impressionism, Claude Monet (1840-1926) was born in Paris and developed a deep, aesthetic appreciation for nature early on. He relished painting outdoors, "en plein air," and maintained great humility about his artistic talent, saying "All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it." In this softly hued art print, Monet immortalizes the gentle countryside of Giverny where the artist lived -- in spring.
