An oil painting on board depicting an Impressionist seascape with ships, 1967. Inscribed, Claude Monet, and dated 67, lower left. Framed. An original stamp of the Grands Magasins du Louvre, on the backside. Oscar Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein air outdoor landscape painting. One of a kind artwork.
