I can see why you would say that the painting of his wife's deathbed is almost pre-Expressionistic. The cry of the heart is so clear in the almost violent brushstrokes. Thanks, as always. :)

The Woman with a parasol portrait is amazing. I love the way the clothing's colors kind of mix with the sky and the clouds in the background, giving the subjects some sort of a heavenly look. Certainly, it's the way they are perceived through Monet's eyes. Another marvelous video, as usual. Thank you.

Thank you so much Lucas! I'm happy you liked the video :)

I love the wonder that Claude had for his wife, and his consistency in painting her over the years! I guess my worry or concern is how difficult it must have been on their relationship to struggle so much financially

Oh I'm sure it must have been difficult. Having to fake breaking up with your lover to get financial aid from your family must have been really hard, but the fact that they remained together nonetheless shows how strong their bond was.

4:08 that one is really beautiful, very moving. It reminds me of a scene in “the wind rises” (a movie by Miyazaki). You do a great job on the storytelling and I like your choice of music as well, for that part of the video in particular. This video gave me a real bitter-sweat feeling. Makes me want to rewatch Benjamin Button. I’ve been that one off for awhile because it’s so heavy.

Yes google says that the scene from the movie was directly inspired by this painting. Man I love Miyazaki's works. The Wind Rises is my favorite film, and even more so now knowing that one of my favorite paintings inspired the ending scene.

I’ve read biographies of him and many people said that he was a but rude and standoffish in cities but he almost became a different person in his natural environment, funny and nicer. Very interesting

Monet is one of my favorite artists! So much so that I have a book about his life written by Matthias Arnold. My favorite works from him are three paintings from the Haystacks series (Effect of Snow and Sun, End of Summer, another End of Summer). I learned that there are only few portraits of Camille because Monet's next wife, Alice Hoschedé, destroyed them (or instructed Monet or someone to do it, I forgot which).

Yes absolutely!! Alice was extremely jealous! She also ordered to erase other traces of Camille, like photographs and letters. Thank you for your input! :)

I only ever had a faint knowledge of Monet’s private life and this paints a whole new picture on the meanings behind his work, thanks for the new insights!

"For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return" As a catholic and watching this in Ash Wednesday really suits the tone. The way Monet painted his beloved wife almost like fading in grayish yet colorful paint strokes makes like she is slowly returning into ashes! Amazing video as usual! Hope to see more, targeting Monet's more straightforward artworks.

crying on a youtube video about paintings is not on my to-do list today, but here we are

I still see the woman with the parasol and become immediately saddened, perhaps not the intention of the portrait, but certainly an uncontrollable feeling that is evoked.

Really wonderful to hear about the person behind the painting. It adds so much in understanding the artist's intentions and humanises the person. An added dimension too often missing in discussions of art. Please don't stop and thank you.

'woman with a parasol' is my absolute favorite painting of all time. I used to go the national art gallery in DC every weekend when it was on display there. Ive spent hours looking at it, and it was the subject of my final paper for my art history class. It is the only time I have ever wished to speak french. I had the vain hope that just maybe, another language had the ability to describe how this painting made me feel, because I could never find a way to make english do it justice. I was heartbroken when they removed the painting from display. I can still see it in my mind, as if it had happened to me.

“i hope you enjoyed this valentine’s day special” thanks, i’m sobbing

When I was a design student, I loved impressionism, especially hers. Her art made me feel at peace.

Damn the love he has for his wife is unbelievable

I will never get to see this paintings in real life but the way you describe and tell there stories. It made me feel as if I am staring at it aswell! Keep up with your amazing videos

First. Sorry, I had to do it. Regardless, great video. Woman with a Parasol is undoubtedly my favorite portrait; simply liberating.

Wow because of you I’ll never look up another Claude Monet, the same again thank you very much

This is an absolutely fascinating video. I knew almost nothing about Claude Monet's life until watching this.

I come from Reddit. I did not know the channel and, watching this video, it seems to me that it has a great aesthetic and content. Right now I'll go see your other videos and, of course, subscribe.

I am missing when I had met this artist

nah the deathbed painting makes me tear up :(

Ouau. Monet est peut-être l'un des peintres les plus intéressants du XIXème siècle et sa vie et son art étaient étroitement liés. Parfois, je me retrouve à regarder certaines de ses peintures, même les plus morbides. Salutations chaleureuses de Gdansk, Pologne.

Love this!

Another cracking top quality video - cheers

Boat as a studio. That's a win win!

On the profile picture where did the left half of this painting come from? I was so confused, but I think it does make for a better composition.

What's the title of the background music?

what were the music used at the start of the vid?

Wearing a kimono isn't any more questionnable than reading mangas, cosplaying, attending to manga forums and eating japanese are. It's probably questionnable for sad people with a boring life and the will to annoy everybody.

From videos I’ve seen of Japanese people on the subject of non-Japanese wearing kimono they say they think it’s cool people wanna participate in that aspect of their culture.

I have a small print of this painting that I bought at a flea market about 40 years ago. It has a sticker on the back that says it came from the collection of somebody from the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Anyone have any idea as to its value?

It is rumoured he had an affair with Alice before camille died. Of course his love with camille is special. I don't think Alice was a bad woman as she is rumoured to have been destroyed camilles letter and paintings.

does anyone know the name of the piano piece in the beginning of the video?

It sucks that when we look at these paintings on screen we don't get the full glory of them. In real life they'd be big and have texture, we would see them how the artist wanted us to see them.

oh gosh-- it's hard to look at Camille on Her Deathbed. not because it's not beautiful, but because of the brushstrokes. they look so frantic, and like Monet at times just bore down on the canvas and swept his arm in anger. it's enough to put you in his perspective, having lost the love of his life and lamenting with a paintbrush.

3:59 context questionable? How would that be questionable?

@Holic Holic I think he said that because she’s depicted wearing the kimono as if it is a costume. It is a highly regarded traditional garment, which was used as a “silly costume” in Europe due to the east being viewed as something exotic and strange. Kind of like how animals are treated at a zoo. Japonisme (which is the art movement this piece belongs to) has been criticized for treating east-Asian culture with lack of respect and understanding. Maybe you should study art and its historical systematic exploitation, before you dictate how others feel. I adore Claude Monet, however that does not make me blind to criticism towards his artwork.

Thinking these paintings are now worth millions, it's almost disrespectful to the artist. If I could afford it, I would give such a painting or trade it but not make a profit off something made by a man who was literally starving, how could you almost.
