A Cart on the Snowy Road at Honfleur 1865 or 1867 by Claude Monet
This view of Honfleur was dated 1865 by Monet, when the painting entered the Louvre in 1911. This painting shows how Monet was integrating what he had learnt from Japanese art into his intensive observation of a specific scene.

Women in the Garden 1866 by Claude Monet
Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of Impressionism and the philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein air landscape painting.
Women in the Garden was painted at Ville d'Avray using his wife Camille as the only model. The goal of this large-scale work, while meticulously composed, was to render the effects of true outdoor light, rather than regard conventions of modeling or drapery.
This was the painting that the official Salon jury had rejected in 1867, and now representatives of the French government had agreed to pay the incredible price of 200,000 francs for it.
