  That was a very nice critique of Monet’s work. I’m very fond of Impressionism, and it was fascinating to hear how Monet’s paintings changed, as his sight was hindered by cataracts. Impressionism is like freezing an image in one’s memory, and placing it on canvas. Everything, is a little fuzzy, but the colors and feelings remain.

  Nice touch adding Debussy music as he was known as the impressionist of composers.

  One of the few painters who you could literally spend hours looking at one painting and marvel at its composition and beauty.  Arguably the greatest artist, certainly of the Impressionists.

  You know you’re baroque when you’re out of Monet

  &quot;I would not image Mr. Monet blushing.&quot;<br>&quot;He painted landscapes.&quot;

  My Mother, a painter/artist herself, loved him. &nbsp;My childhood was spent with large art books with works of the masters sprawled on the floor beneath the canvas work in progress of my Mother. &nbsp;Turpentine scented memories will follow me today. Thanks, Simon.

  Thank you for shedding light on the women in Monet&apos;s life who made his prolific work possible! So often their labor is forgotten and overlooked.<br>It reminds me of your Van Gogh video, how his sister-in-law Johanna Bonger preserved and showed his paintings to the world after his death.

  Even on a good, large screen, the paintings look flat compared to the real thing. The depth and detail in some of Monet&apos;s work is breathtaking. If you can stand back from his water lilies, the water starts to move, you can feel a light breeze, it comes to life ... truly amazing. Try to see his work in an uncrowded gallery and take the time to stare into each piece, it is well worth the time.

  I am drawn to van Gogh&apos;s &quot;Wheatfield with Crows.&quot; I have no one favorite of Monet&apos;s paintings. Each one is a magical place where it only takes a step and you have entered the frame.
