In 1872, Claude Monet painted Impression, Sunrise — the picture that gave Impressionism its name and changed art forever. But who was the man behind the myth? Genius, braggart, rebel — Monet shaped his own legend and rewrote the rules of what art could be.
In this opening episode, we unpack secrets hidden in crates, dig through lock books and stargazers’ notes, and follow young Monet from rebellious schoolboy to the Paris salons that rejected him — until he broke them open. How did a boy sketching caricatures in a seaside town become a master who redefined modern art?
Join us on a cinematic journey through the storms, scandals, and strokes of genius that made Monet an icon.
