Claude Monet: Early Work and 'Impression, Sunrise' 

I cannot thank you enough. Your lecture is wonderful! 🙏What a gift. I look forward to viewing more of your lectures and I will make a donation.

That was an great lesson about the painter and the Impression of the art style.

It's nice indeed when the artist Eugene Boudin receives attention for what he did for Monet. Very seldom mentioned or a line or two on Boudin. But there's more to the story for even though Monet was very thankful to Boudin for "removing the vail from his eyes", it was the Dutch artist J.B. Jongkind who would finalize the education of Monet eye, and Monet would name Jongkind his true master! I would recommend the book EUGENE BOUDIN ...G. Jean -Aubry with Robert Schmit (Author of the Boudin Catalogue Raisonne)

The etchings of the caricatures of the dejected artists and crowds and personages attending the salon are significant works of art themselves.

What a great video! Looking forward to watch the rest of your lectures! :)

good stuff yo!

Thank you. I love all your videos and have learned and enjoyed so much.

Enjoyed the lecture.Thanks

Monet is one of the few 19th century western painters i kind of like,the others are Van Gogh and William Turner. I just find the 19th century a boring period for art and architecture in general,at least in the West

This appeared to be good short documentary about Monet, but I gave up halfway through. Who is the speaker? She can hardly compete one sentence without hesitating and giggling. She repeats words as she thinks of what to say. She says "um" or "uh" as she thinks of what to say. If you think I'm being too harsh, listen to any five minutes of this video and write down EXACTLY what she says and read it aloud to yourself. The giggles and the "ignoramus" comments, the hesitating,, the "ums" and "uhs", the "kind ofs" all mark her as someone who shouldn't be narrating anything.
