Highlights
Boudin's Influence on Monet: Eugène Boudin mentored a young Claude Monet, teaching him plein air painting techniques that shaped the Impressionist movement. He is known to have told Monet, "everything that is painted directly and on the spot has always a strength, a truth, and a vivacity that one does not find again in the studio"
Musée Marmottan Monet's Impressionist Legacy: The Musée Marmottan Monet houses France's largest collection of works by Claude Monet, including the iconic 'Impression, soleil levant' (Impression, Sunrise), which gave the Impressionist movement its name.
Parisian Charm: Located in Paris's 16th arrondissement, the Musée Marmottan Monet is situated in a peaceful residential area, offering visitors a respite from the city's bustling center and a glimpse into Parisian elegance.
