things i learned about giverny from its french wikipedia article (besides monet!)

giverny is part of the paris area of attraction, a study showing the influence of paris on the surrounding towns

the average temperature is 10 celsius (51.6 degrees!)

hillary clinton visited in 1996

it was known as giverniacum in 1025 and its current name was seen in 1276 (it was gyverny so... almost?)

there was a leper colony there during the middle ages?

the le lorier family owned it during the french revolution and monsieur le lorier was the first mayor

since 2020, the mayor has been claude landais (his term ends in 2026)

it was originally owned by monks from saint-denis (the church mentioned in 'aupres de ma blonde'!) in 863

nothing of note happened in between 1791 to 1883 so allow me to add that gustave daae and his toddler daughter christine moved there from ryd, sweden in 1868! ;)

a gourmet restaurateur named david gallienne opened a restaurant in 2020 (it's called le jardin des plumes and opens at the unique time of 12:15!)

this year giverny and vernon will organize giverny's first eco-citizen walks

in 1866 (the year rewrite christine was born!), 340 people lived in giverny. that number decreased to 277 people in 1886 but 305 people were there in 1891 (the last year of the rewrite!)

the smallest population was 250 in 1901 and the biggest was 548 in 1990

as of 2020 there are 486 people living there (the english article says 494 in 2019, the same number as 2017 in the french article)

the giverny festival takes place every september and features contemporary music, authors, composers and performers!

Oscar Claude Monet 1840 - 1926

this French born painter was one of the most leading figures in the impressionist movement, his love for art came at a young age when he told his father he wanted to be a artist instead of working for the family business, he enrolled at the Le Havre secondary school of the arts in 1851 and would then become popular in his local town for his charcoal caricatures which he would go on to sell. in 1856 Monet would meet Eugene boudin, a fellow artist who took Monet under his wing and taught him different techniques for painting outdoors and how to include oil paints into his work however within the following year Monet would lose his mother, someone who was always supportive of his art career at just the ages of 16 this meant he had had to go live with his aunt.

3 years later Monet would move to Paris to properly persue his art career. The move was very influential as during this time he would visit the Barbizon school, the paintings their inspired him so much that it promoted him to enroll at the Academie Suisse where he would then meet other artist such as Camille Pissarro, Eduard Manet and many others who become friends with Monet and fellow impressionist. Monet would often gather his tools and sit by the window and paint what he saw as a oppose to the other painters in the France that would copy the old masters.

Monet would be in Paris again from Algeria after serving just one year in military during 1861- 1862 due to health reasons. upon his return Monet studied with Charles Gleyre which gave him the opportunity to connect with other artist but most importantly the opportunity to connect with Johann Barthold Jongkind, a landscape painter which provided advice and support for Monet thus leaving an impression on the young artist. 3 years after his time in the military Monet was accepted to the annual juried art show in Paris, ‘the salon’ the show selected two of his paintings, the marine landscapes and although his work got praise Monet was still a struggling financially however the following year he was chosen again to participate in the salon this time they chose a painting of a landscape and a portrait on his lover and muse Camille Doncieux. Camille Doncieux was featured in many of Monets paintings.

Camille and Monets relationship suffered a great deal of hardships, Monet could not take the stress of providing for Camille and their son when he was financially struggling thus leading to monet struggle with his mental health, his loss of motivation and journey to despair caused his suicide attempt in 1868. although things got better with monets career as Louis-Joachim Guadibert became a patron of Monet's work meaning that he could still continue to paint more and then eventually sell those painting and collaborate with other artist exhibiting their works along side one another. However monets battle with his mind was to stay with him during his career, he was know to burn, kick and cut a numerous amount of his paintings due to his unsatisfaction and self doubt. Monet began to turn his depression into art after the death of Camille he painted one last portrait of her on her death bed before he began he his ‘ice drift’ series, a collection of gloomy, dark paintings that documented the way he felt at the time.

the death of Camille pushed Monet and his family to live with Ernest and Alice Hoschede and their six children Monet and Alice would eventually become romantically connected as Ernst spent a lot of his time in Paris, although never divorced Monet and Alice moved into together after earnest death to a beautiful home in Giverny where they went on to get married. This move inspired a great deal of Monet work as he loved to paint outdoors and the enviorment in Giverny was a perfect view for him to interpret, with all the lakes and flowers he painted the famous waterLilly series which he would go on to donate to the nation of France. his late success meant that Monet began to be commission by the Orangerie des Tuileries, a museum in Paris for 12 of his waterLilly paintings on a larger scale so they could fill a special space in the museum as his goal was to make his art to serve as a ‘haven of peaceful mediation’ something I think lacked in Monets life. unfortunately Alice passed away during this time, cataracts started to develop in his right eye and The rise in popularity with the cubist movement meant Monet depression came back.

On December 5th 1926 Oscar Claude Monet died in his home in Giverny leaving his legacy to inspire many other famous artist such as Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko by opening a new style of art and a new pathway to expression.

"My only merit lies in having painted directly in front of nature, seeking to render my impressions of the most fleeting effects."
