Jean Pierre Hoschede and Michel Monet on the Bank of the Epte

Impressionism

The story

Those two were so close they were almost twins. Jean-Pierre Hoshedé and Michel Monet. Born 7 months apart, not even brothers. Monet always treated them both as his sons. Maybe they were. Michel legally was, Jean-Pierre was Alice's son. Michel got the legacy. Jean-Pierre got nothing. Michel left for Africa, wildlife. Jean-Pierre stayed near Giverny, dedicated years to preserving it, and wrote Monet's family life story.
