 MONET’S MOST FAMOUS
WORKS

From 1871 to 1878 Monet lived at a village near Paris. Here he painted some of the
most joyous and famous works of the Impressionist movement along with Manet, Sisley
& Renoir
Women In The Garden (1866-
67)
 One of his most
ambitious early
works, he used his
wife Camille as a
model
 The painting is
about 2.5 meters
high and he
painted all of it
outside
 He had a trench
dug in the garden
so the canvas
could be raised or
lowered by pulleys
to the height he
wanted
Madame Gaudibert (1868)

 The order for

portraits by the
Gaudiberts and their
purchase of other
paintings by Monet
tided him over the
worst of his financial
difficulties and
enabled him to
resume the career
he had almost
abandoned in
despair
The Red Kerchief: Portrait of Camille Monet
(Late 1860s-Early 1870s)

The colors of this work

are
uncharacteristically
muted. Only the red
kerchief screams out,
Also a portrait of his
wife Camille
Green Parks, London (1870 or
1871)
Series of paintings of Water-lilies on his garden that
began
in 1899 and grew to dominate his work completely
