Claude Monet painted en plein air, or "outdoors," taking his canvas outside to paint from direct observation, capturing the efffect of natural light and atmospheric conditions on the landscape. With this method, Monet shows his experience of a specific moment and place, allowing us to escape into the verdant gardens surrounding the artist's home in the north of France.
