Клод Моне является истинным главой школы импрессионистов. В его произведениях
воплотилась основная идея импрессионизма - идея света и воздуха. Мир Моне с его
растворяющимися предметами постепенно лишается материальности и превращается в
гармонию световых пятен.
Моне нередко писал один и тот же вид в разное время суток и в разное время года.
Таковы его серии "Стога" и "Руанский собор". Беглыми, как будто небрежными мазками
Моне создавал впечатление колышущегося от ветра поля или полной движения улицы
