In France, the Musée de l'Orangerie has announced an exhibition titled ‘Monet, peindre le temps’, scheduled to run from September 30, 2026, to January 25, 2027. The exhibition aims to explore his transition from a rejected academic painter to a central figure of Impressionism following his 1874 exhibition of ‘Impression, soleil levant’. In the United States, The Frick Pittsburgh has added three Monet paintings—‘Houses of Parliament, Sunlight Effect’, ‘Rising Tide at Pourville’, and ‘Banks of the Seine at Lavacourt’—to its ‘French Moderns: Matisse, Renoir, Degas’ exhibition, which remains on view through October 11. Discussions regarding his life emphasize his focus on light, nature, and his residence in Giverny, Normandy. His early works, such as ‘Femmes au jardin’, are noted for foreshadowing the innovation found in his later series, including the ‘Nymphéas’ (Water Lilies). ## Timeline ### 2026-08-16: Claude Monet: The life and legacy of the Impressionist master Celebrating the centenary of Claude Monet’s death, reflections on his life highlight his Giverny home and early masterpieces like ‘Femmes au jardin’ which signaled the rise of Impressionism. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/claude-monet-the-life-and-legacy-of-the-impressionist-master ### 2026-08-13: Claude Monet exhibitions announced in France and the US Claude Monet's works are featured in new exhibitions: the Musée de l'Orangerie will host a centenary retrospective in 2026, while The Frick Pittsburgh has added three Monet paintings to its current exhibit. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/claude-monet-exhibitions-announced-in-france-and-the-us --- Cite as: Claude Monet centenary commemorations.
