# REDIRECT Claude Monet

Claude Monet () ( 14 November 18405 December 1926 ) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.

Claude Monet was born on 14 November 1840 on the 5th floor of 45 rue Laffitte, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.

He was the second son of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubrée Monet, both of them second-generation Parisians.

Millet's late landscapes would serve as influential points of reference to Claude Monet's paintings of the coast of Normandy ; his structural and symbolic content influenced Georges Seurat as well.
