This is a self portrait by Claude Monet. This is an example of the impressionist movement. The artists of the time were moving away from the old style of dark realistic paintings and moving towards the impressionist style. The style involved bright colors and well lit scenes with visible brush strokes. It was harshly rejected by art authorities of the time, however this only served to fuel the ambition of the early impressionist painters.
