Claude Monet painted “Gardener’s House at Antibes” in 1888. The work captures the play of sunlight on the house and garden. This piece reflects Monet’s fascination with light and color variations. Antibes, located in the south of France.

Monet created this painting during a visit to the French Riviera. He often painted outdoors, or en plein air, to capture natural light and atmosphere directly on the canvas.

Monet was a founder of Impressionism, known for his series paintings capturing the same scene at different times. His innovative approach influenced modernist art profoundly.
