Claude Monet was a founder of French impressionist painter. His parents didn’t approve of him wanting to be a painter. His father wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but Monet wanted to become a painter. He was well known for his charcoal caricatures, which he would sell for ten to twenty francs.
Monet met Eugene Boudin in 1857, and Boudin became Monet’s mentor and taught him how to use oil paints. He then went on to create hundreds of famous pieces of art.

The subject of this painting is the harbor of Le Havre in France.
“ Landscape is nothing but an impression, and an instantaneous one, hence this label that was given us, by the way because of me. I had sent a thing done in Le Havre, from my window, sun in the mist and a few masts of boats sticking up in the foreground....They asked me for a title for the catalogue, it couldn't really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: 'Put Impression.”
