Unlocking Claude Monet

Monet completed nearly two thousand paintings over his lifetime, a body of work later cataloged in Daniel Wildenstein's raisonné. That output came from his habit of working on several canvases at once, switching between them as the light and weather changed through the day instead of finishing one piece before starting the next.

Monet painted the same scene again and again because a single view never looked the same to him twice. Sunlight, weather, and the hour of day changed the color and mood of a haystack or a cathedral front, so he treated each version as its own separate study rather than a copy.

Monet's later paintings turned redder, browner, and softer at the edges because cataracts were clouding his eyesight, not because his style changed on purpose. The condition dulled blues and greens for him and blurred fine detail, so he leaned on paint labels and memory to keep working through it.
