Rome, Italy

Monet. Capolavori dal Musee Marmottan, Paris:  Complesso del Vittoriano- Ala Brasini, Rome.

One of my all time favorite painters is Claude Monet… As a matter of fact in a very classic day my favorite painting is Women in the Garden.  It’s amazing the details of their beautiful dresses, the reality of the light and shadows… This exhibition shows 60 works by the father of Impressionism that were originally kept in the artist’s beloved house in Giverney, his last home, before being donated to the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, by his son Michel.
