Claude Monet was at the forefront of Impressionism. The techniques and concepts used by Impressionist painters threw aside traditionalism in the pursuit of clean hues and light that sought to convey something else within nature. Renaissance art concentrated on the depth of field and space. Impressionism concentrated upon relaying a sensation - It was that reaction to the beauty of nature that surrounds us these art works depicted.

Monet loved to paint his garden in Giverney. Indeed, he spent many years and a lot of money being its architect. Impressionists did not mix colors upon the palette. Instead colors were placed side by side which suffused light and color in a way that had never been seen before. Corner of the Garden at Montgeron was one of four paintings commissioned by Ernest Hoschede for his Chateau in Montegon. Although originally intended for the dining room this composition would grace any room – A beautiful and enlivening piece.
