To have footage of the greatest impressionist in history is just amazing. Wish there was more.

Amazing ! Everyone should visit his house and gardens in Giverny.The house is exactly as it was during his lifetime and the gardens are extremely beautiful.

I’m in tears that I found this ! Studying him in art class and had no idea I could see film footage of him at work. Amazed at the white suit -I’m always getting paint all over my ripped up jeans and cell phone ! Long live Monet!

I am all choked up, as art history grad never knew this existed! Ah, I can feel the breeze. Namaste John

I wish it had sound, I would love to hear his voice, the birds, the wind in the trees, the water in the pond.....! 😍😍😍

We all know the ideal painting attire is a three-piece white suit.

Just think, that painting he was working on is now worth millions.

Beautiful Amazing Love M Monnet 🥰

All the old footages of the world fascinates me i from Brazil in not a rich city, and without the internet i never has meet this kind of things , this is just amazing

I love this. Thank you so much for sharing.

I’m so honoured to have lived to see what this man has done. Furthermore, being in his house and garden, made me stop breathing. I’m so grateful to my eyes..for without them, I’d not been able to see this marvel.

Wow! Did not know film footage of Monet existed.

I want to cry a little!thanks for uploading this

I love the piano music. I was surprised to see Claude Monet doesn't have his canvas sitting in front of what he is painting - that he instead turns his head to look as he paints. I would think that would hurt his neck. These moments are a great insight to these wonderful painters. Thanks for posting.

The little dog is so cute...Snow at Giverny is my favorite painting in the New Orleans Museum of art.

Io mi sono commossa. Questo video è una vera perla. Grazie Sacha Guitry,grazie a chi l'ha postato. Meraviglioso Monet

This video makes me smile and feel warm inside :") What a wonderful painter and spirit he was. Long live Monet!

Oh..that's just gorgeous..thank you for that lovely moment!!♥♥♥

Love this. The garden is so beautiful even in black and white!

The "gentleman" in question is the famous actor and author Sacha Guitry, who made a serie of movies, like this one, about famous people of his time (around 1915) : Auguste Rodin, Pierre Renoir, Anatole France, Sarah Bernhardt, and many others...

I am so proud to have been able to do a research project on him he is such an inspiration and his artwork makes me so happy he really was so so talented 💚💚

Incredible footage. This is why youtube is awesome.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I can believe I cry! I love his art 🌿☀🩷

Can one get closer to heaven? Maximum beauty through both watching and listening! Thank you //E

MONET ET PEINTURE " EN PLEIN AIR ". EST UNE TECHNIQUE PICTURALE DATANT DU 19e'me SIE'CLE, A L ' EPOQUE DU COURANT IMPRESSIONNISTE . MERCI BEAUCOUP JOHN HALL .

Such a treasure! I would love to hear what he was saying, and to see the scene in color. I can imagine it, having visited lovely Giverny.

Thank you for bringing these wonderful films. Just finished a book on Impressionism, and I so happy to see these films.

I cant believe that i saw him. Thanks a lotttttt

A chaque coup de pinceau il tourne la tête pour voir le paysage qu'il peint c'est étonnant ! les tableaux de C Monet ne sont pas célèbres pour la beauté du détail mais pour l'impression , l'ambiance , la sensation de l'environnement , l'odeur plus que la couleur . Il a travaillé les très grandes Nympheas exposées au Musée de l'orangerie à Paris dans son Atelier et pas en extérieur : c'est le fait de se savoir filmé qui lui donne peut être cette attitude ( je le pense ) Document unique de voir Claude Monet filmé ici J don't write english excuse me , very very difficult to write my comments but french people only sorry Mister John Hall

un privilegio ver en persona a los grandes maestros. Gracias

What a fabulous record of the artist at work. Thank you !

i wish i could hear what he was saying too.. Love this.. Thank you :)

I dearly love this footage. He looks exactly as I imagined him to be. LOVE! XO

άρχοντας!

Oow so happy to see this. Thx for sharing

This footage is a great treat!

this is AMAZING !!!

Amazing, thank you for sharing!

Thank you !!! Awesome !!!

thank you for this unique experience. hes my favourite artist of all.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is very inspirational to see these rare time capsules of the Great Masters!

I cried while watching it is really amazing.

A window to the past, thank you.

I imagine the world was more vivid in those days, and I’ve only seen one butterfly in my garden this year

After seeing what was likely this same film at the Philadelphia Art Museum years ago, and then visiting the Monet Gardens in Japan, it's nice to see this again.

What a delight and winsome combination of music and vintage film snippets.

Sweet baby buddha, I love the garden. Monet my homeboy

Wow! Thank you...i Love this on so many levels! :) Play on.

C' est Magnifique!

Just thanks for this jewelry in video I love you

hi hooligrl666 thanks! amazing to see 'the master' at work! :)

Very tranquil to watch. Making beauty for a living!

I lived in France during the 70's, the gardens at Giverny were in complete ruin. I was astonished the French would allow such a treasure to deteriorate. In any case, this is two minutes of pure magic. Thank you.

This is completely astonishing! I love this painting

A tantalisingly short film clip of the great Claude Monet.

It's an extract from "Ceux de chez nous", a Sacha Guitry's documentary (1915)

This dude cracked the code. Everybody else has been living wrong

This is great, we had no idea there was footage of Monet physically painting his garden!

Il est sublime! Merci!

Excelente, una experiencia ver este documento.

Wonderful Monet and wonderful Chopin, what a combination.

Que excelente documento fílmico!

Beautiful!!

superb!!! i like impressionistic paintings :)

ue emocionante poder ver esse vídeo deste grande artista!!!

its like i found a treasure watching this video...thanks john hall

hi Jennifer Reeder glad you like this upload - amazing to be able to see Monet at work :)

Magnifique certainement!

I would have loved to see the painting he was working on more clearly! this was so exciting to see.

This is just beautiful

One of few artist who is able to live in such a big beautiful house when alive.

What a beautiful memory.

Isn't that just so lovely?

My favorite painter! True genius...

these guys were born just after the advent of photography and here he is still moving in a very modern age.

It was great to see 2 ancients I love, Renor and Monet. Both seemed quite flamboyant and smokers, before the age of cancer. These 2, despite their flamboyance and sinful depravity, remain my favorite artists amidst many masters. I have studied these 2 for hours and always discovered newness of beauty and prettiness that I SO love and cherish.

This is history !Wow.

Guys Its so cute Claude Monet I love you!

Pure gold 🥰

Thank you. Smiles

God. Damn. Amazing.

Estes vídeos são uma mistura vídeo-sensorial, simplesmente espetacular. ❤️

Amazing.

if he had known he wud be watched in 2022 :)

A master !!

Wow! Just look at the ash on that Gauloise. They don't make cigarettes like that any more! Monet was my first love as a young artist. He seemed to epitomise everything French, chic and natural. His water lilies - painted to the sound of German guns - were a consummate play of figurative and abstract and I thought for a time were the absolute pinnacle of painterly expression. However, after not seeing his work for many years it comes across as little more than decorative - even escapist. Like most of us, Monet was nostalgic for a time that never existed in a stress-free world where people were simply another feature of an idealised landscape. Perhaps he was a man of his time - essentially the mid 19th century - before industrial technology had imposed itself on every facet of life - especially warfare with its monstrous killing machines. And maybe that is why he painted the large water lilies - in a desperate attempt to turn the clock back from the horror of the present to arcadia of the past... but what he painted was the dissolving, the dissolution of that dream which, alas, never had substance anyway.

He is painting "Irises By The Pond"..look it up- it's beautiful!

I like very much the music in the background. Chopin's second piano concerto.

Wearing white none the less! This is gem. Thanks.

Que maravilloso poder verlo ...gracias por el video es un tesoro.

I saw the last half of the clip today in a museum in Potsdam (Germany). They show it on a 4x4 meter screen. It is a large exhibition of around 100 monet pictures.

LOVE this! and the music accompanying it!

I love this little film, it is so poetic by the magical play of light and shadow provided by ancient film technique...... and monet is like a rock, a painting animal, he is his painting ...

LINDO...AMO CLAUDE MONET

Amo este vídeo

Such a different career path to a dancer. Success tends to come late. Huge palette and array of brushes but most of all he looks at the subject beforr making a brushstroke.

merveilleux.......

Amazing! But I kept looking at the cigarette hanging from his mouth waiting to see the ashes fall unto the pallet! So I had to watch it twice! lol

hi veramentegina me too - i've often thought a lip reader of French would be great to know in this contact. glad you like it! cheers :>

I knew it was Ashkenazy playing!! He’s one of my very favorite pianists, but I dk how I can always recognize his playing!
