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.

Summer Scene by Frederic Bazille, 1869
French / Impressionist / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of Frederic Bazille’s 1869 masterpiece, “Bathers”. While studying at the studio of Charles Gleyre from 1862 to 1863, the artist met Monet, Renoir, and Alfred Sisley, all of whom would become founding members of the revolutionary Impressionist movement of the late nineteenth century. As Bazille was comparatively wealthy, his studio became a meeting place for the artists. This work depicts a group of young men dressed in swimsuits enjoying a leisurely day in an idyllic setting. The artist transposed figures from drawings done in his studio into an outdoor setting along the banks of a river near Meric.
