About the Artwork
Also known as The Stroll, Claude Monet's Woman with a Parasol is an Impressionist portrait of his wife, Camille, with their son, Jean. The overall tone of the painting exudes peace and serenity. Monet includes a soft light from the sun as well as airy clouds within the atmosphere. This gives the impression - along with the long dress worn by his wife and the clothing by his son - of a peaceful, relaxing spring day. Monet places the audience under the parasol, also giving way to the soft sunlight within the painting.
About the Artist
As a founder of French Impressionist painting, Claude Monet used the emotional, painterly brushstrokes to depict the beauty and serenity of the French landscape during the 19th and 20th Centuries (or during the 1800s and 1900s). Monet's landscapes, including his Impression, Sunrise (1872), Mouth of the Seine at Honfleur (1865), and Flowers on the Riverbank at Argenteuil (1877), highlight the movement of light and the passage of time over the landscapes - the passing of both days as well as seasons.
About the Movement
Woman with a Parasol was composed in the Impressionist Age of art. Impressionism was characterized by extremely loose brushstrokes that were visible throughout the entire painting. This 19th-Century (or 1800s) art movement took landscapes, figures, and objects and incorporated both movement and emotion. Impressionism, in a matter of style, was almost the blending between Cubism and Baroque art; that dramatic and emotional appeal of the Baroque mixed with the inclusion of motion and the passing of time of Cubism. Some of the most famous Impressionist artists included Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas.
