Claude Monet was born in Paris in
1840. At the age of 11 the boy, having a taste for painting, started studies at
a secondary school of arts. At the age of 16, by chance, a French artist Eugène Boudin (reputed
by art historians to be a forerunner of impressionism) became the teacher of
the young man and developed his first skills of working outdoors, in the plain air, and gave grounding for
original vision in painting.
In 1862 Monet was admitted to the university's department of arts, but quit it, disappointed in out-of-date approaches to painting prevailing there. Having quit the university, Monet continued training at painting studio of Charles Gleyre, where he got acquainted with Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and Frederic Bazille. Fresh views on painting and joint work of the young artists in the plain air without finalization of paintings in a workshop lead to the formation of new art movement which in 1874 received the name of "impressionism" by the similarly-named landscape by Claude Monet "Impression, Sunrise" ("Impression, soleillevant").

Monet's life, like the lives of the most art innovators, was not easy. Paintings which were called "sheer impression-sharing" by the critics, were slow for sale, and the artist's financial position became so poor that once he attempted suicide.
And only by 1883, after Monet's moving to a small settlement Giverny
Most paintings by Claude Monet having the highest value at present, refer to this very period of his creative activity.
