"Madame Monet in Japanese Costume (La Japonaise)"

Claude Monet (i) - Oil (i) - 232 x 142 cm - 1876 - (Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, United States)) (i) - Impressionism (i)
Monet exhibited this work at the second group show of the Impressionist painters in 1876, where it attracted much attention. Large-scale figure paintings had traditionally been considered the most significant challenge for an artist. Using this format, Monet created a virtuoso display of brilliant color that is also a witty comment on the current Paris fad for all things Japanese. The woman shown wrapped in a splendid kimono and surrounded by fans is Monet's wife, Camille, wearing a blond wig to emphasize her Western identity.
