Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) is regarded as the most important of the Impressionist painters. His landscapes are the embodiment of what is commonly thought of as Impressionist painting. The theory of Impressionism states that we do not see an object as such, but rather the light in which it appears to us. Thus Monet for instance painted the portal of Rouen Cathedral at various times of the day and under different weather conditions, showing us how the changing light affects its appearance.
