Claude Monet was a French artist who is widely regarded as one of the founders of the Impressionist movement. The Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son painting is an excellent example of his style. The painting depicts a woman and a child walking in a field, with a parasol casting a shadow over them. Monet painted this piece in 1875 in Argenteuil, a town located northwest of Paris.
Today, the original painting is kept in the National Gallery in London, UK, and is considered one of Monet’s most beloved works. The painting’s style is characterized by quick brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the impression of a moment rather than a photographic representation. The colors used in the painting are vibrant, with a contrast between the cool blue and green hues of the grass and the warm oranges and yellows of the woman’s dress and the sun’s rays.
Many art historians believe that the woman in the painting is Monet’s wife, Camille, and the child is their son, Jean. When Monet painted this piece, he was living in Argenteuil with his family and enjoying a period of artistic success.
As for the cost of the original painting, it is difficult to estimate as it is not currently for sale. However, similar Monet paintings have sold for millions of dollars at auction, reflecting the significant value that his work holds in the art world.
Overall, the Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son puzzle is a beautiful and engaging way to appreciate Claude Monet’s iconic painting. Its irregular Victorian laser-cut pieces and premium wooden box make it a unique and thoughtful gift for anyone who loves puzzles or art.
