The story of La Grenouillère (Monet)
In September 1869 Monet wrote to Frédéric Bazille of a dream of a large painting of the baths at La Grenouillère, for which he had made only 'bad sketches'. Renoir, who had spent two months there, painted the same scene beside him. This picture and one in the National Gallery, London, are probably the sketches mentioned in the letter; its broad, constructive strokes are those of a sketch. The picture is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Claude Monet
Oscar-Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of Impressionism who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of Impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions of nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise, which was exhibited in 1874 at the First Impressionist Exhibition, initiated by Monet and a number of like-minded artists as an alternative to the Salon.
