Claude Monet was born Oscar Claude Monet on November 14, 1840. He was founder of French Impressionist Painting, and the consistent and prolific practitioner of the moment's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature. He was born on the 5th flour of 45 Rue Lafitte, in the 9th Arrondissement of Paris. He was the second son of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubree Monet. In 1845, his family moved to Le Havre in Normandy.
Claude Monet's father wanted him to go into the family's grocery business, but Claude wanted to become an artist. Starting in the year of 1851 Claude started going to the Le Havre Secondary School of the Arts. At the age of sixteen, in 1857, Claude left the school because his mother died. Monet then traveled to Paris to visit Louvre and witnessed painters copying old masters. He had his materials so he went next to a window and painted what he saw instead of copying an old master's painting.
Claude got married to Camille Doncieux, but she died because of her second child's birth in 1879. Jean Michel were their two sons they had together before Camille died. Claude Monet got remarried to Alice Hoschede in 1892. Claude died because of lung cancer in 1896 and the age of 86. Fifty people attended the ceremony of his funeral. Claude Monet's paintings are favored all over the world today.
