Claude Monet's work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging from 2 USD to 110,747,000 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork.

Claude Monet had years of difficulty with his color sense and his general vision due to cataracts, starting in his 60s. Though surgery was recommended, he resisted the idea, partly because Mary Cassatt's surgery had not gone well.

Of course, the most famous Monet paintings are those belonging to Impressionism. The movement got this name from the title of the most recognized Monet's painting; Impression, Sunrise. It was April 1874, when an exhibition in Paris was organized.

Claude Monet created in excess of 2,500 works of art, including paintings, pastels and sketches. The exact number that he created in his lifetime is not known. He was a very prolific artist and sometimes destroyed his own works. In addition, due to the impact of World War I and II, some of his works may have been lost.
