Claude Monet, a French painter born in 1840, was a key figure in the Impressionist movement. This style of painting emphasized capturing the fleeting moment and the effects of light and color, rather than strict realism.  Monet's famous series of paintings, like the "Water Lilies" and "Haystacks," demonstrate his fascination with depicting the same scene under different conditions
