Claude Monet in His Studio Boat, by Edouard Manet




Manet created Claude Monet in His Studio Boat in 1874, during the Impressionism Art Era. Manet used oil on canvas to create this fascinating painting. Interestingly, Manet was influenced by the younger generation, including Monet. During this time, artists would usually just paint in their studios. However, Monet defied the norm and went outside and painted in his boat. They are able to accurately depict nature, it is transient. Manet captured the abstract patterns of the water (as can subsequently see the colors), and a scene of Monet painting the landscape. This is the first time we are seeing an artist painting the landscape, while being outside (on a boat at that), so this painting is extremely interesting.
