Oscar-Claude Monet(/moʊˈneɪ/;French:[klod mɔnɛ]; 14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a founder of FrenchImpressionistpainting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied toplein-airlandscape painting.[1][2]The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his paintingImpression, soleil levant(Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to theSalon de Paris.
（以上，网上的注解）
奥斯卡-卡德 莫奈 于公元一八四零年十一月十四号生于法国。年轻一名不文的时候于同样年轻的孩子他妈过着穷困却幸福的生活。于后来不负盛名的时候却又孓然一身。
我羡慕他的才华，却更妒忌他对自己的肯定。他这样自信满满的追求着自己的艺术理想。与志同道合的一帮友人翻开世界美术史的新篇章。如此的义无反顾，坚定着自己的愿望。即使是耗尽一生也是甘愿的。我也知道，他也曾有过挣扎，有过不确定，但在后来他有回归自我。
我要是有过那么一点对自己的信任，就知足了。
