Monet and his first wife, Camille, lied on their son’s birth certificate in 1867.
They claimed they were married, though they only wed in 1870.💍

Monet would pause mid-stroke, brush hovering, waiting for light to return after a cloud passed. Timing was everything.

In the Dutch tulip fields, Monet was astonished by the colors.
“I could never have believed that such colours existed,” he said in admiration.

Painting outside required portable materials.

American painter and inventor John Goffe Rand invented the first portable paint tube in 1841. Without them, Monet’s Impressionism might never have bloomed.
