Claude Monet | Stile artistico

Claude Monet è stato il sostenitore più convinto ed instancabile del «metodo impressionista» che vide già riassunto in nuce nelle opere dell'amico Manet.

La Francia della seconda metà del XIX secolo era una nazione viva, moderna, ricca di magnificenze e di contraddizioni, che in seguito all'offensiva prussiana del 1870 aveva conosciuto un impetuoso sviluppo economico e sociale che, tuttavia, aveva inizialmente mancato di investire le arti figurative.
