Of all the Impressionists, Claude Monet was the most dedicated to recording the impression of the moment. For most of his long life he travelled tirelessly, seeking new settings and effects. His two thousand completed paintings, light-saturated, vibrantly coloured and intensely atmospheric, make up an unrivalled achievement. However, Monet's story is far from being a tale of unbroken triumphs for, like most of his fellow-Impressionists, he achieved worldly success only after decades of poverty and struggle. Douglas Mannering's comprehensive study of the artist is illustrated with over 120 superb reproductions of his best-known and best-loved paintings
