Monet+House

Claude Monet discovered this garden house outside of a train window in 1882 in Givery. What he liked most about the house was this beautiful garden and lots of living room for his growing family. Monet and his family moved to Giverny in 1883. They made their house as homely as possible. Monet retired there and painted amazing paintings, like the painting Water Lilly’s. Inside the house, there are many rooms that Monet enjoyed spending time with his family and worked on some of his famous paintings. The house starts with the blue sitting room in the front of the house. This room is where Claude Monet’s wife spends time with the children studying and playing. It is a little space with Japanese woodblocks that he picked out and different shades of blue. Another famous room in the house is Claude first art studio. This is where his visitors, art dealers, critics, and collectors go to talk. They also talk about art deals and picking out paintings that can go in the art museum or art shows. But the most famous part in the house is Claude Monet’s bedroom. The bedroom has the same simple white bed Monet slept in and had his last moments of life. There is a large window seeking a great view of the garden and the rest of Giverney. But the most shocking part in Monet’s bedroom that is weird is the paintings from other artists. This is very unusual for an artist to have other paintings in their house. Monet wanted to admire other impression artist’s work, then his own paintings. Monet house is owned by a business that takes care of the garden and the house. Now the house and the garden is a museum. This is one of France’s biggest tourist attractions and art work to see. People all over the world come here to see where Claude Monet lived in and experienced his way of living. It will forever not just be a regular house but a painter’s house.
