i went to my first monet exibit when i was 5 and i remember having a tour guide and never once did they mention his muse, his wife, the woman behind the man, thank you for shedding light on an artist so well known and beloved and the woman behind him this entire time

I knew nothing of this! I love Monet's work but know little of his personal life. Thanks so much for your work putting this story together and for sharing it with us.
