Twenty-one of Claude Monet’s masterpieces are on display, along with works by his teacher, Eugene Boudin, and his step-daughter and student, Blanche Hoschedé. These artworks have been gathered from prestigious museums around the world, including the Columbus Museum of Art, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Johannesburg Art Gallery, the Museum of National Art in Bucharest, and the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga. The exhibition showcases the key stages of Monet’s artistic journey, from his early development to his peak years.

The exhibition also features a series of video installations that offer an emotional revisit to crucial moments in Monet’s life, enhancing the connection between his life experiences and his art. Born in Paris in 1840, Claude Oscar Monet is celebrated as the father of Impressionism, a late 19th-century art movement. While Impressionism also included renowned artists like Cézanne, Degas, and Renoir, the term actually originated from an art critic’s response to Monet’s painting “Impression, soleil levant.”
