Camilla (Woman in Green Dress) by Claude Monet

1866, young Claude Monet paints his beloved, Camilla Donsier, and calls the work “Camilla, or the portrait of a lady in a green dress.” Art critics say that the work was done in a couple of days. Enthusiastic responses and ornate comparisons with the works of famous masters were enough.

The main thing is that the momentary moment is captured so successfully that it can be argued: although the deviations from the traditional school are almost imperceptible, but the new style is already on the threshold.

Salon jury accepted the work favorably, and inspired by Monet is taken for the following work.

With Camilla, Monet lived in marriage for fifteen years, and was happy all this time. The artist’s wife died in 1879, at the age of 32.

It belongs to the “Lady in the green” art museum in Bremen.
