Claude Monet Painting, Edge of a Wood by Sargent Business Card

Claude Monet Painting By the Edge of a Wood (c. 1887). Artist: John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). Claude Monet Painting is a vintage Victorian fine art landscape painting featuring Claude Monet painting by the edge of a forest with his future second wife (Alice Hoschedé) watching. This painting was done in the "en plein air" style which means in the open air, meant to describe paintings created outside. About the artist: John Singer Sargent was the most successful portrait painter of his era. During Sargent's long career, he painted more than 2,000 watercolors, 900 oil paintings, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. An avid traveller, each destination offered pictorial stimulation and treasure. Even at his leisure, he painted with restless intensity, often painting from morning until night. Sargent is usually not thought of as an Impressionist painter, but he sometimes used impressionistic techniques to great effect with his own version of the impressionist style.
