Monet: The Restless Vision is a captivating masterpiece penned by Jackie Wullschlager, celebrated as The Art Book of the Year by The Times and recognized by notable publications like the Telegraph, Sunday Times, Financial Times, Economist, and Evening Standard.

This magnificent biography dives deep into the life of Claude Monet, the founder of Impressionism, whose revolutionary approach to painting forever changed the landscape of western art. Initially misunderstood and mocked, Monet's relentless pursuit of his vision led him to create iconic works while facing personal and financial struggles.

Monet's life was marked by extraordinary highs and devastating lows, including:

  • Groundbreaking Works: His symphonic series such as Haystacks, Poplars, and Rouen Cathedral brought both wealth and acclaim.
  • Personal Turmoil: A volatile romantic life influenced his artistic direction, as he transformed his style through three significant relationships.
  • Historical Context: Monet's works resonated with the cultural upheavals of his time, including the Dreyfus Affair and the First World War.

Wullschlager’s enthralling narrative is enriched by thousands of previously untranslated letters and unpublished sources, offering readers an intimate glimpse into Monet's turbulent private life and the driving forces behind his art. This biography not only transforms our understanding of Monet’s paintings but also highlights the emotional depth of his achievements.

Immerse yourself in the passionate world of Claude Monet with Monet: The Restless Vision, a book that promises to enhance your appreciation for one of history's most influential artists.
