He is French painter (1840-1926). He was one of the founders of Impressionism, and with Renoir developed the technique of broken-colour painting in which dabs of colour laid side by side become blended by the eye of the viewer. He painted directly in the open air, often painting the same scene at different hours of the day for the varying effects of light. Light and subject merge almost completely in his last series of paintings ( Water lilies), and approach pure abstraction.
