Answer 1

Answer: I choose the painting, "Women in the garden" by Claude Monet

Explanation:

Women in the garden was created by Claude Monet in 1866 using oil paints. In the painting he depicts his future wife, Camille Doncieux posing among other girls surrounded by trees and lush garden greens. Monet painted this painting en plein air which means outside. He was worried about having all the wrong angles so he dug a trench for his canvas after painting the upper half in order to have as realistic point of view as possible. In the painting the girls appear to be wearing beautiful gowns that Monet got the inspiration for from a magazine. Many of Monet's works of art where sent to Paris salons and loved by the public but when he sent his painting Women in the garden to be hung among the others for all to see it was rejected in 1867 because they claimed it was weak in the narrative and wouldn't show it in their museum because of his heavy brushstrokes. claude monet at the time was barely making it by due to not having alot of money so fellow artist Jean Frederic Bazille bought his painting in order to support him in his time of need.
