Woman with Parasol (Madame Monet and her son), Claude Monet, 1875

This a reproduction of Claude Monet’s “Woman with Parasol” of 1875.  Oscar Claude Monet was born in 1840 Paris and founded the Impressionist movement in fine art.  At the age of seventeen he began painting "en plein air", an outdoor method of painting in which gestural and suggestive use of oils is made.  After two years of military service in Algeria, Monet returned to Paris and painting and initiated the Impressionist style with collaborators, Renoir, Bazille and Sisley.  He married Camille Doncieux in 1870 and painter her in several works until her death in 1879.  This "Woman with Parasol" is one of those.  This masterpiece is on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C.
