More than fifty masterpieces by Monet,<\/em><\/strong> the father of Impressionism, from the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet in Paris,<\/strong> are on display at CentroCentro<\/strong> (Plaza de Cibeles, 1) until 25 February in the first major anthological exhibition devoted to Monet in Madrid in the last 30 years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This exhibition explains the entire artistic career of the Impressionist master read through the works to which the painter himself was most attached, his “own” works, those which he jealously guarded until his death in his house in Giverny, and which he never wanted to part with, among them the famous and emblematic Water Lilies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet houses the largest and most important collection of works by the immeasurable French artist, the result of a generous donation made by his son Michel in 1966.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the Madrid exhibition, the museum will lend such exceptional works as Portrait of Michel Monet with a Pompom Cap<\/em> (1880), The Train in the Snow. The Locomotive<\/em> (1875) and London. Parliament. Reflections on the Thames<\/em> (1905), together with large paintings such as his captivating Water Lilies<\/em> (1917-1920) and his evanescent Wisteria<\/em> (1919-1920).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The exhibition focuses on the different stages of Monet’s research, from his beginnings on the Normandy coast to his last work, the Water Lilies,<\/em> painted on his estate in Giverny, via his trips to Holland, Norway and London. It should be noted that most of the paintings on display are part of Claude Monet’s direct inheritance. They are works that Monet kept in his studio in the family home in Giverny until his death in 1926.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More than fifty of Monet’s masterpieces from the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet in Paris are on display at CentroCentro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art","category-leisure"],"yoast_head":"\n
