“Branch of orange bearing fruit, Oscar-Claude Monet” Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein air landscape painting. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene may times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. In this picture, we can see a brown branch with leaves. It has got six oranges around the branch in a light background.
