People are very familiar with Monet's series of water lilies, knowing that he painted many paintings of water lilies, but his most representative series is actually Rouen Cathedral, which runs through Monet's whole painting career.

This painting was created on 1875. The woman in the painting is Monet's wife and the child is his youngest son. The family lived in Argenteuil from 1872 to 1878. It was a wonderful and pleasant time.
