Claude Monet prints for your walls
Our Monet prints reproduce paintings made from about 1870 to the 1920s. You will find river scenes, gardens, fields, cliffs by the sea, and several views of the water lily pond. Every painting is in the public domain. We print each one to order on canvas or on cotton rag paper.
About Claude Monet
Claude Monet was born in Paris in 1840 and grew up in Le Havre, on the Normandy coast. There the painter Eugène Boudin taught him to paint outdoors. In Paris he became friends with Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley. His painting Impression, Sunrise gave Impressionism its name after the group's first exhibition in 1874.
Monet wanted to catch light as it changed. He painted fast, in short strokes of pure color, often in front of the subject. In the 1870s he lived at Argenteuil on the Seine, and then at Vétheuil. In 1883 he moved to Giverny, where he lived until his death in 1926. There he made the flower garden and the water lily pond that he painted for the rest of his life.
He also worked in series. He painted the same haystacks, poplars, cathedral front or bridge at different hours and seasons. His views of Waterloo Bridge come from visits to London around 1900.

Sizes and frames
Every Monet print here is landscape format. Sizes run from 8 × 12 to 28 × 42 inches, or from 11 × 14 to 30 × 40 inches. The range depends on the shape of the painting. Each product page shows the current price for every size and format. Frames come in black, white, gold, silver, walnut and oak.
A Monet canvas in a white or oak frame keeps the light, open feel of the paintings. Gold suits the warmer haystack and garden scenes. Black frames the gray London and winter views well.
Where Monet wall art fits in a home
Claude Monet wall art suits bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms. The water lilies and river scenes are calm and low in contrast, so they work above a bed or sofa. Garden paintings bring color to a kitchen or hallway. For a larger wall, hang two or three views of the Seine in the same size and frame.

The cliffs and coast views sit with Seascape Paintings. For the painter who took Impressionist color in a new direction, see Vincent van Gogh Prints.
