Claude Monet was a famous French impressionist painter born in 1840 in Paris. He studied art as a youth and married his wife Camille in 1870 with whom he had two children, though she later died of tuberculosis. One of Monet's most famous works was his painting "Rock Arch West of Etretat" from 1886 which depicted the ocean, rocks, and texture of the water in great detail for which he was known. Monet died in 1926 at the age of 86 from lung cancer.
