Sommario/riassunto

For Monet, the act of creation was always a painful struggle. His obsession with capturing light effects in nature was much more intense than that of his contemporaries. In his words: "Skills come and go... Art is always the same: a transposition of nature that requests as much will as sensitivity. I strive and struggle against the sun... should as well paint with gold and precious stones."
