The following thesis focuses on the final phase of Claude Monet's artistic production, the leading figure of Impressionism. In the last years of his life, Monet had to contend with an eye disease, cataracts, which posed an obstacle to his work. Due to this condition, some technical aspects of his works diverged from those of the earlier phase. After an overview of the artist’s biography and a brief historical contextualization of the Impressionist movement to which he belonged, the influence of Monet on the artistic movements of the 19th and 20th centuries will be analyzed. Finally, the impact of the disease on the final years of his career will be explored, highlighting how it altered his painting approach.
La seguente tesi si concentra sull’ultima fase della produzione artistica di Claude Monet, figura di spicco dell’Impressionismo. Negli ultimi anni della sua vita, Monet dovette affrontare una malattia agli occhi, la cataratta, che rappresentò un ostacolo significativo per il suo lavoro. A causa di questa condizione, alcuni aspetti tecnici della sue opere risultano differenti rispetto a quelli della fase precedente. Dopo una panoramica sulla biografia dell’artista e una breve contestualizzazione storica del movimento impressionista a cui apparteneva, verrà analizzata l’influenza di Monet sui movimenti artistici del XIX e XX secolo. Infine, si esplorerà l’impatto della malattia sugli ultimi anni della sua carriera, evidenziando come essa abbia modificato il suo approccio pittorico.

Abstract
The following thesis focuses on the final phase of Claude Monet's artistic production, the leading figure of Impressionism. In the last years of his life, Monet had to contend with an eye disease, cataracts, which posed an obstacle to his work. Due to this condition, some technical aspects of his works diverged from those of the earlier phase. After an overview of the artist’s biography and a brief historical contextualization of the Impressionist movement to which he belonged, the influence of Monet on the artistic movements of the 19th and 20th centuries will be analyzed. Finally, the impact of the disease on the final years of his career will be explored, highlighting how it altered his painting approach.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
