Claud monet

paris 1840-1926 giverny

impressionist




a wealthy family born into

rejecting wealth comfort too

sophia lacadre aunt and artist

able to encourage assist




at school academic lessons ignored

caricatures doodled drawed

at fifteen a little local fame

his drawing getting acclaimed




eugene boudin encourages landscape

monets destiny taking shape

in all weathers he paints outdoors

bringing fame and international applause
