Oscar-Claude Monet was born on November 14,1840 in Paris. He spent his childhood in Le Havre. At those years Eugene Boudin tought him to oil paint outside. 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. In 1859 Monet moved to Paris, where he attended the Académie Suisse beginning in 1860. Instead of copying the old paintings in Louvre Museum he would like to paint the view outside the window.Begining in 1860 he attended the Académie Suisse. Despite some success in 1865, when two of his works were exhibited at the Salon, by 1867 financial difficulties forced Monet to return to his family in Le Havre.n 1872 (or 1873), he painted Impression, Sunrise (Impression: soleil levant) depicting a Le Havre landscape. It hung in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874 and is now displayed in the Musée Marmottan-Monet, Paris.The work caused a sensation, and gave a name to the movement, when the critic Louis Leroy named the group as “impressionists,” a term the artists themselves soon adopted without satirical inflection.
