The Art Collection is a newly created and designed art series analyses the historical importance and cultural legacy of famous artists, from Renoir to Cezanne, through Monet, van Gogh, Degas, Klimt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin and Hieronymus Bosch, with a final volume on religious icons.

The books are distinguished by superb illustrations and colour reproductions of representative works, resulting in an essential collection for any art lover at a remarkably affordable price.

The second title in the series celebrates the work of Claude Monet (1840 - 1926), a founder of French Impressionist painting and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions when faced by nature.

The book is full of examples of his work especially the open air landscape paintings.
