Monet spent sixty years painting light rather than things. He grew up on the Normandy coast selling caricatures of Le Havre locals, helped start Impressionism along the Seine in the 1870s, and at Giverny went back to the same haystacks, cathedral front and lily pond again and again, in every season and at every hour. Every piece here is in the public domain, shown from museums that share their collections openly.
