클로드 모네(Claude Monet), 프랑스, 화가, 1840-1926
프랑스 화가 '모네'는 그의 나이 68세 때에 처음으로 베니스를 여행했습니다. 그의 두 번째 부인 '알리스'의 친구 초대로 두 달 반쯤 베니스에 머물렀답니다.
처음엔 그림 그릴 계획이 없었습니다. 워낙 오래전부터 많은 화가들이 베니스의 풍경을 그렸기에, 모네가 그린다고 해도 그다지 특별하진 않을 거라 생각했었죠.
하지만 베니스의 물과 빛은 모네에게 특별한 영감을 주었습니다. 하루를 두 시간 단위로 쪼개어, 매일같이 물 위에 비치는 빛을 쫓아다니며 그림에 몰두했습니다.
아침 8시에는 '산 조르지오 마조레 성당'에서, 10시엔 '산 마르코광장'에서, 점심식사 후에는 'Mula 궁전'에서, 해질 무렵엔 곤돌라에서 그림을 그렸습니다. 지베르니로 돌아온 모네는 모두 37점의 베니스 풍경을 완성했답니다.
About Him
Claude Monet also known as Oscar-Claude Monet or Claude Oscar Monet (November 14, 1840 – December 5, 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.
Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840 on the fifth floor of 45 rue Laffitte, in the ninth arrondissement of Paris. He was the second son of Claude-Adolphe and Louise-Justine Aubrée Monet, both of them second-generation Parisians. On May 20, 1841, he was baptized into the local church parish, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette as Oscar-Claude. In 1845, his family moved to Le Havre in Normandy. His father wanted him to go into the family grocery store business, but Claude Monet wanted to become an artist. His mother was a singer.
On the first of April 1851, Monet entered the Le Havre secondary school of the arts. He first became known locally for his charcoal caricatures, which he would sell for ten to twenty francs. Monet also undertook his first drawing lessons from Jacques-François Ochard, a former student of Jacques-Louis David. On the beaches of Normandy in about 1856/1857 he met fellow artist Eugène Boudin who became his mentor and taught him to use oil paints. Boudin taught Monet "en plein air" (outdoor) techniques for painting.
On 28 January 1857 his mother died. He was 16 years old when he left school, and went to live with his widowed childless aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.
