Who was Claude Monet?

Never knew these details! He must have been very happy; lived 86 years!

I've visited his home and gardens in Giverny. Well worth the side trip from Paris.

there's a big mural of Monet's water lilies painting at the MOMA of New York ... most impressive.

I love art. I am glad this question is in. I hope he had an epic life. Never new these details of him.
