A Paris street erupts in tricolour flags and crowds

A narrow Paris street recedes into the distance beneath a dense field of red, white and blue French flags hanging from buildings on both sides. A dense crowd of small dark figures fills the street below, thinning toward a hazy vanishing point where pale blue sky appears. The flags are built from loose, energetic strokes of red, white and blue.

Claude Monet (1840–1926) gave Impressionism its name and its longest career. From the 1870s he painted outdoors in the Seine valley and on the Normandy coast, pursuing the changing light of a single motif in series — haystacks, poplars, Rouen Cathedral, the Thames — and from 1890 the garden he built at Giverny, whose water lilies occupied his last twenty-five years. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Marmottan Monet, the National Gallery in London and the Art Institute of Chicago.
