CLAUDE MONET
Three paintings that in fact are four!
Read about The
River-Scene - two paintings in one!
See how Monet
scraped away, painted over and changed from late afternoon by
rose light into bright sunshine.
Follow the
Evolution of the motif from the first drawings to the matured
master-pieces via our River-Scene and its two versions.
This painting
really turns out to be The Missing Link!!
See and
study how we reveal the sensational fact that Garden-Scene in
fact is signed! Twice! Try to understand the unbelievable fact
that we have found a closed 'archaeological' treasury hidden
under the frame since 1899.
See how all the
the paintings have been treated - once taken down from their
stretchers and then piled together.
When Suzanne
Hoschéde and Alfred Sisley died in 1899, the paintings were
saved from destruction.
Look at all
comparisons with other paintings by Monet and see how all the
three paintings fit like "hand in glove" in many, many different
ways. |
