1885年11月，畫家莫內來到法國海邊小鎮度假，他天天攜畫具外出寫生，只為捕捉海岸的光影與變化。有天清晨，他畫得太入神，竟忘了注意漲潮……本書根據真實事件改編，透過細膩插圖與畫家筆記節錄，帶領讀者走進印象派大師的創作日常，感受他筆下的光與色。In November 1885, impressionist painter Claude Monet vacationed in Étretat, France, where he spent his days outside, painting scenes of the seaside village. One morning he rose early and carried all of his supplies and half-finished paintings out to the cliffs and rocky beach, finally stopping to paint the arch called Manneporte. Eager to capture the scene before him, and aware that he must work quickly to catch the light, Monet became so engrossed in his work that he forgot to watch the incoming tide. Based on a true incident, MONET PAINTS A DAY introduces readers to the life and nature of this illustrious impressionist. Interspersed throughout the story are excerpts from the painter’s notes and letters, while a second layer of text and back matter includes information about Impressionism as a whole. Lush watercolor illustrations in the Impressionist style give read
