| Monet was a French painter (self-portrait above) and the founder
of impressionist. He was fascinated by the effect of light on objects and
this led to a series of painting of single subjects painted at different
times of days and under different weather conditions, the water lilies
sequence is the best known. The pictures on the right illustrate how Monet
saw the "japanese bridge", the one above showed distinct outline and the
one below was painted
when he developed deteriorating eyesight.
