Woman with a Parasol in a Garden

Impressionism

The story

"Woman with a Parasol in a Garden" might be the biggest understatement in art history.

Sure, it's a garden. Just not anyone's garden, it's Monet's, in Argenteuil. Yes, there's a woman with a parasol. Her name is Camille, and the man beside her tending the flowers goes by Claude. Renoir could have written "Sunday at my friends' house." He went with "woman with a parasol", and turned a snapshot of friends into something that outlasts all of them.
