With exhibitions around the world and extensive media attention, the centenary of Monet’s passing in 2026 will be celebrated with due fanfare; and this luxurious book is a fitting and timely accompaniment, covering all of Monet’s key works in a beautifully presented, large-format monograph.
Claude Monet, who remains one of the world’s best-known and beloved artists, spent 70 of his 86 years with paintbrush in hand, drawing strength from constant renewal from reinvention. He embodied the beginnings of Impressionism, then defined it. Few artists have enjoyed such longevity or demonstrated such inventiveness. Monet traces this career, drawing on a rich iconography that includes the ‘must haves’ as well as lesser-known and sometimes surprising works. Author Marianne Mathieu allows us to (re)discover the painter and the man in his simplicity and his daily routine. She immerses the reader in the light and the colour that characterised and shaped Monet’s work.
Marianne Mathieu is an art historian specialising in Impressionism. For over 20 years, she has curated heritage exhibitions in France and beyond, including Monet the Collector (2017, Yale University Press), Berthe Morisot (2012, Paris, Museé Marmottan Monet), Julie Manet, la mémoire impressionniste (2022, Paris, Museé Marmottan Monet), Monet-Mitchell (2022, Yale University Press) and Monet en pleine lumière (2023, Moncaco, Grimaldi Forum).
