Monet loved to paint what he saw around him, and soon art dealers and collectors were lining up each morning to see as Monet saw. Monet, however, waited only for the light. His brush moved back and forth, chasing sunlight-putting in the arduous work to create an image that seemed to contain no effort at all.

From Edgar Degas to Mary Cassatt, the impressionists created beautiful works that are found in museums all over the world--and even more prints of them are found in homes! This book profiles some of these big-name impressionists and shows their famous pieces.
