About this Item
MONET, CLAUDE. (1840-1926). French artist; leading figure in the impressionist movement; the term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression Sunrise. Good Autograph Letter Signed, Claude Monet , in French, on his embossed 'Giverny Par Vernon Eure' stationery. Penned in his customary deep lavender ink. 1 1/2 separate pages, octavo. [written on the first and third leaf of one sheet, so that when open, it displays wonderfully!] Several file holes, else very fine condition. Giverney, November 11, 1899. To Monsieur Moliau [?]. The artist writes: ''I give you permission to send the two paintings that I have entrusted to you, to London, but on condition that you take full responsibility, and that it is done at your risk. So I count on you that you take all possible precautions for the packing, etc., and ask you to bring me up to date as soon as you have a solution, regardless of what that may be. Warm regards, Claude Monet''. Monet visited London on three different occasions; the first time was when he fled France in the Franco-Prussian war, 1871. He was about to return to London for the second time, when he wrote this letter. The city had a lasting impact on his career, and he painted over 100 images of it, including the painting which gave rise to the term Impressionism. A wonderful letter for display.
