Hey we are going to be talking about Monet. Monet was a famous French painter who created massive paintings. He was the second son of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubrée Monet. On 20 May 1841 he was baptized in the local parish church. On 1 April 1851, Monet entered Le Havre secondary school of the arts. Locals knew him well for his charcoal caricatures which he would sell for ten to twenty coins. On January 28 1857 his mother died. At the age of sixteen he left school and went to live with his childless aunt Marie-Jeanne.

In June 1861, Monet joined the First Regiment of African Light Cavalry in Algeria for a seven-year choice. But two years later after he had got typhoid fever his aunt intervened to get him out of the army if he agreed to complete an art course at an art school. It is possible that the Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind whom Monet knew could teach him. But he did not get with Johan Barthold Jongkind he got with Charles Grye. When Monet traveled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Having brought his panting tools with him he would go and sit by a window and paint what he saw in his head. Monet was in Paris for several years and met other young painters who would become friends.

Monet had a gorgeous house. He also had plenty green foliage in the front of his house. Monet also has a colorful garden. The colors of the garden were from red to oranges with a unique stem. This color and quiet garden was very organized and was very neat. Monet also had a pond in the back of his house. This pond and several colorful water lilies in it the color of the lilies where from greens to whites with a little flower in the middle. Inclusion Monet was a great painter who had a big imagination.
