Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) is considered the founder of French Impressionist painting which strove to define an image by replicating the play of light upon it. In 1856 Monet 1859 moved to Paris to study painting and attended the Academie Suisse, an informal place where artists met and models and material were available for use. This is where Monet met Camille Pissarro and began frequenting Brasserie des Martyrs, a favorite meeting place of artists and writers. Monet's work titled Impression, Sunrise was painted in 1872 and the group of emerging artists were named Impressionists after an article in a newspaper laughingly referenced the style of painting. Being said, in 1874 the First Impressionists Exhibition was held and in addition to Monet featured the work of other artists such as Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, and Paul Cezanne.
