Regarded as a key figure of the Impressionist movement, Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) had a significant focus on nature in his artworks, particularly with respect to the changing of the seasons. This nature-based focus often resulted in series of paintings, such as the well-known Haystacks and Water Lilies collections.
A special exhibition coming to Tokyo's Ueno Royal Museum will explore some of Monet's works created from the perspective of a series, including pieces from the Waterloo Bridge collection of 41 oil paintings.
After the Tokyo event, a follow-on exhibition will be held at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka from February 10, 2024 until May 6, 2024.
