André Le Notre is certainly the most famous French gardener. He was also a designer, architect, engineer, landscaper and urban planner. He worked for Louis XIV from 1645 to 1700 and designed the gardens of Versailles, Vaux le Vicomte, Chantilly and Fontainebleau, as well as the Tuileries in Paris.

Thanks to his experiments with brushstrokes and impasto, Camille Pissaro came to be known as one of the fathers of Impressionism.

Known as one of the revolutionary artists of the 20th century, Matisse created a visual vocabulary that made him one of the leaders of the avant-garde.

Claude Monet, alongside Auguste Renoir, is considered one of the pioneers of the impressionist movement. Inspired by the work of Turner, Monet became fixated on capturing the play of light on water. He lived in Giverny for over 40 years, painting landscapes that sought to convey a fleeting moment of nature. Monet's most famous work, the "Water Lilies Pond," exemplifies his emphasis on capturing the present moment, a reality that would change within the hour. Light plays a crucial role in his paintings, evoking an impression or emotion that is captured by the viewer's eye.
