History of the Claude Monet Oil Painting "Japanese Bridge Over Pool of Water Lilies, 1889": It's likely that Monet began or actually did most of this painting at Giverny in the summer of 1888. Monet completed by memory at his studio in Giverny many of the paintings in this "Japanese bridge series" -- a concept he had staunchly opposed until about 1900. Another painting from the same year is Ravine at La Creuse, Sun Effect. French painter Claude Oscar Monet (1840-1926) was born in Paris and grew up in Le Havre. He shocked his contemporaries and revolutionized the way art was produced in the 19th century by painting en plein air -- outside the studio -- the only way he could capture the nuances of shimmering light and opalescent color that only nature could provide.
