More about this artwork

"Monsieur Coqueret (Father)" (1880) by Oscar-Claude Monet is a captivating portrait that embodies the essence of Impressionist painting. This work presents a close-up of an elderly gentleman, Monsieur Coqueret, portrayed with an impressive level of detail and emotional depth. His expression, which mixes a hint of introspection with a gentle dignity, is skillfully rendered through Monet's masterful brushstrokes.The subject's white hair and robust moustache are highlighted with swift, textured strokes, emphasizing the play of light and shadow on his features. Noteworthy is the colorful, loosely tied cravat, which adds a dash of personality and vibrance, contrasting with his otherwise muted attire. Monet’s use of pastel hues, combined with impasto technique, gives the painting a dynamic yet soft texture, suggesting the lively character beneath the serene exterior.This portrait not only shows Monet’s skill in capturing human expressions and the effects of light but also offers a glimpse into the everyday elegance of 19th-century French society.

Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property, and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.
