Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 29 works by Claude Monet (1840–1926) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Monet was the leading figure of French Impressionism, a movement he helped found in the 1870s with his commitment to painting light and atmosphere directly from observation. He spent much of his career in Normandy and at his garden in Giverny, where the Water Lilies series — including the vast panels designed for the Orangerie in Paris — occupied the last three decades of his life.
