Résumé

"From the Salon de Refusés to the Impressionist movement, from young penniless painter to great bourgeois artist, from husband to lover... Claude Monet lived a life of much variety. The flag-bearer of a movement that would revolutionize the vision of XIX century art, this man was consumed by one idea, and one idea only: the perfect mastery of the depiction of light. In this superb graphic novel, Salva Rubio and Ricard Efa tell us all about the risks of this research, for which Monet paid as much as he gained."
