He used many paintings of the same theme to experiment with the perfect expression of color and light. Monet has been exploring the expressive effects of light, color and air for a long time. He often made multiple depictions of the same object at different times and under different lights, expressing the feeling of the moment from the natural changes in light and color.

The achievements and influence of the painter Monet

From the perspective of the emergence and development of Impressionism, the founder must be Monet, but he truly fully realized the ideas and techniques of Impressionism and consistently When recommending Monet. It was he who devoted his whole life to Impressionism, which had an important impact on the Western painting world. It was the unremitting efforts of a group of artists headed by him that broke through the conservative ideas of the previous academic school and greatly impacted the second half of the 19th century. The official art that occupies the dominant position in the Western painting world has thus opened a new page in the history of modern Western painting and made an important contribution. He left behind precious artistic wealth for future generations. It should be said that Monet was the first to achieve success among the Impressionist painters. Although later artistic schools such as Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism did not follow some of the principles founded by Impressionism, the artists who founded these schools all learned from Impressionism. Nutrients were drawn there.

It should also be mentioned that the concepts and techniques of Impressionism were originally proposed based on realistic observations. However, due to their keenness to describe light and color, and even mystify them, there was a lack of consideration for them. The tendency of realistic objects. Monet once said: When painting, forget what kind of object is in front of you. What comes to mind is only a small square of blue, a small rectangular piece of pink, and a hint of yellow. Therefore, the painter's attention in creation is not focused on the scene to be expressed, but on the effects produced by the spatial environment, light, smoke, and airflow around the scene, or it is limited to expressing within a certain range. Under the conditions, the lighting of the scene leaves an instant impression on the painter. Therefore, it is possible to only capture the subtle changes and lose the understanding of the overall situation; only reflect the subtle color levels, while ignoring the consequences and overall situation of the scene shape.

Because it is a real-time creation, Monet was in a hurry when he was creating, because the sunrise only lasted for a short period of time. Because of the short creation time, Monet's painting gives people the impression of a sunrise.

Among Monet's paintings, "Water Lilies" is the one that reflects Monet's style. This work reflects Monet's late style. In his later years, Monet lived in a residence near Paris. Monet planted many flowers in his residence. When Monet created "Water Lilies", he created it in his own garden. Monet showed multiple perspectives in this work, which is the style of Monet's later works.
