“Woman with a Parasol”, created in 1875, shows an interruption of a casual family stroll. Monet looked up toward his beloved wife, Camille, and their son, Jean, and captured them just as the wind picked up—Camille’s skirt blowing, the grass swaying, the sky alive with movement.
Monet sketched the sky in chaotic strokes of blue and gray, leaving splotches of canvas exposed in his haste. His loose brushwork pulls you further into the moment.
Monet’s wife, Camille, appeared in many of his early paintings. Their life together wasn’t easy—they faced family disapproval, poverty, and illness—but they stayed by each other’s side despite it all. Camille died young, at just 32, after battling uterine cancer. Monet was shattered.
In the spirited brushstrokes of “Woman with a Parasol,” their love lives on today.
