Monet was a famous artist he did lots of art work and it is now displayed in many places.He was born on November 14,1840 in France,Paris.He is the child of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubree Monet.When Monet was younger he was baptized in water at a local church.Monet's mother was a singer,his father was in a grocery store business and wanted his son to be in the grocery store business,but Monet wanted to become an artist.In April of 1851 he was put into a middle school of arts where he began his first works of art.On 28 January 1857 his mother died.At the age of sixteen, he left school and went to live with his widowed childless aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.
Monet later traveled back to Paris to visit someone.In June 1861, Monet joined the First Regiment of African Light Cavalry in Algeria for a seven-year commitment.But, two years later, after he had contracted typhoid fever, his aunt intervened to get him out of the army if he agreed to complete an art course at an art school.It was said that a famous artist promoted his aunt to do this.In 1862 Monet became a student of Charles Gleyre in Paris, where he met Pierre Auguste Renoir, Frédéric Bazille and Alfred Sisley.
At the beginning of May 1883, Monet and his large family rented a house and 2 acres.The house was situated near the main road between the towns of Vernon and Gasny at Giverny. There was a barn that doubled as a painting studio, orchards and a small garden. The house was close enough to the local schools for the children to attend and the surrounding land offered many suitable motifs for Monet's work.A lot of his work was based on landscapes because of the house he live in and the land around it.
