Le Jardin des Personnalités, Honfleur #7: Claude Monet

Claude Monet (1840-1926), a great impressionist, was advised on painting by both Boudin and Jongkind. He was with Boudin when he created his first landscape near Le Havre in 1858, and from then until 1872 he stayed several times in Honfleur, painting the streets and harbour entrances, etc. He was faithful to Normandy and the Seine all his life. Also below is Monet's interpretation of Saint Catherine's in Honfleur.
