Claude Monet - Filmed Painting Outdoors (1915)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2013
- This is unique film of French Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926), painting outdoors, 'en plein air', in his garden at Giverny.
The footage is in two segments.
Firstly we see the artist outdoors talking to a gentleman.
Then we see Monet painting a water lily-padded pond, a subject for which he is most famed.
Enjoy!
To have footage of the greatest impressionist in history is just amazing. Wish there was more.
I’m in tears that I found this ! Studying him in art class and had no idea I could see film footage of him at work. Amazed at the white suit -I’m always getting paint all over my ripped up jeans and cell phone ! Long live Monet!
extraordinary to be able to see him at work!
Amazing ! Everyone should visit his house and gardens in Giverny.The house is exactly as it was during his lifetime and the gardens are extremely beautiful.
I wish it had sound, I would love to hear his voice, the birds, the wind in the trees, the water in the pond.....! 😍😍😍
I am all choked up, as art history grad never knew this existed! Ah, I can feel the breeze. Namaste John
All the old footages of the world fascinates me i from Brazil in not a rich city, and without the internet i never has meet this kind of things , this is just amazing
i remember getting the internet for the first time and it opened up whole new worlds to me - this kind of old footage fascinates me too - we are similar in this! :)
I’m so honoured to have lived to see what this man has done. Furthermore, being in his house and garden, made me stop breathing. I’m so grateful to my eyes..for without them, I’d not been able to see this marvel.
i feel honoured too - it's amazing to see this great Impressionist artist at work in his garden
Just think, that painting he was working on is now worth millions.
i'm certain it is! would like to find one of his paintings unidentified in an antique shop

@@JohnRaymondHall That is funny
Beautiful Amazing Love M Monnet 🥰
me too
I love this. Thank you so much for sharing.
pleasure Elsa :)
We all know the ideal painting attire is a three-piece white suit.
+UnconventionaI LOL! too true.
+UnconventionaI While smoking! A true master.
+Edim S absolutely - smoking relaxes and makes the work flow more easily.
Don't forget the cigarette. C'est de rigueur, as they'd say.
Actually he is wearing a doctor’s smock.
Io mi sono commossa. Questo video è una vera perla. Grazie Sacha Guitry,grazie a chi l'ha postato. Meraviglioso Monet
Wow! Did not know film footage of Monet existed.
hi! and there's film of Degas, Rodin and Renoir! which i have on my channel.
He died in 1926 so it's not a suprise
yes, and not surprising that there's film of Degas, Rodin and Renoir :)
Money diedof lung cancer due to smoking.
I want to cry a little!thanks for uploading this
I love the piano music. I was surprised to see Claude Monet doesn't have his canvas sitting in front of what he is painting - that he instead turns his head to look as he paints. I would think that would hurt his neck. These moments are a great insight to these wonderful painters. Thanks for posting.
+Elizabeth Krill - the music is from the introduction to the second movement of Chopin's second piano concerto - i love it too.
i think that Monet was posing rather than seriously painting - in the Victorian period photographs and painting of family groups were also unnaturally posed or set up - it seemed the right thing to do given that these images were for posterity rather than capture a candid moment.
glad you liked these posts too, cheers
Thanks for explaining that. Yes, I can see now he was hamming it up for the camera, but being a serious painter. I hope to visit Monet's garden someday.
+Elizabeth Krill i'd love to visit it too - probably bump into you there!
I'm not sure when I may go. There is a possibility I may get to Ireland next year with a school group depending on the scholarships. It is uncertain at this time. I'm worried about the flood of migrants and immigration and the rioting I have been seeing. Perhaps it will die down by then. But yes, France is a beautiful place to relax and take in the sun, enjoy the parks and flowers and dream of art and the old masters.
+Elizabeth Krill i spent time as a kid in France and have great visceral pleasure in just being there - the scent of the Metro is like Proust's madeleine for me! and i like the different attitude to life that using French offers as a possibility - greater freedom for this part Anglo-Saxon!
Oh..that's just gorgeous..thank you for that lovely moment!!♥♥♥
+Suzyhazelwood - yes, isn't it wonderful seeing this great artist at work! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this, I can believe I cry! I love his art 🌿☀🩷
yes, his art is magnificant - i saw many of his paintings in Paris
This video makes me smile and feel warm inside :") What a wonderful painter and spirit he was. Long live Monet!
+Shania Deville yes, long may he remain in our consciousnesses - a great revolutionary painter of works of sublime beauty.
I imagine the world was more vivid in those days, and I’ve only seen one butterfly in my garden this year
i imagine that too - no butterflies in my garden - but i saw some lizards today
The little dog is so cute...Snow at Giverny is my favorite painting in the New Orleans Museum of art.
soooo cute :)
The "gentleman" in question is the famous actor and author Sacha Guitry, who made a serie of movies, like this one, about famous people of his time (around 1915) : Auguste Rodin, Pierre Renoir, Anatole France, Sarah Bernhardt, and many others...
So, not Monet?
@@mariambarella hes talkin about the young interviewer
@Michelp
Thank you for indicating that. I don't understand how this footage could be put on UA-cam without the accompanying information. "Talking to a man...". We don't need to foster stupidity for the future, we have too much as it is now.
I am so proud to have been able to do a research project on him he is such an inspiration and his artwork makes me so happy he really was so so talented 💚💚
Thank you for bringing these wonderful films. Just finished a book on Impressionism, and I so happy to see these films.
pleasure - it's so interesting to see their technique at work, if only through side-long shots.
XD to są lekcje
Ok
It's an extract from "Ceux de chez nous", a Sacha Guitry's documentary (1915)
Do you maybe know if they recorded the sound too? Or was it not possible yet in 1915?
Love this. The garden is so beautiful even in black and white!
yes, i jst want to go for a leisurely walk in that lovely garden!
Can one get closer to heaven? Maximum beauty through both watching and listening! Thank you //E
Incredible footage. This is why youtube is awesome.
yes, such extraordinary things can be found on YT!
un privilegio ver en persona a los grandes maestros. Gracias
+Carmina sola sole sí, es increíble poder ver a estos maestros en el trabajo!
thank you for this unique experience. hes my favourite artist of all.
one of mine too!
Such a treasure! I would love to hear what he was saying, and to see the scene in color. I can imagine it, having visited lovely Giverny.
I dearly love this footage. He looks exactly as I imagined him to be. LOVE! XO
doesn't he! love back xoxo!
MONET ET PEINTURE " EN PLEIN AIR ". EST UNE TECHNIQUE PICTURALE DATANT DU 19e'me SIE'CLE, A L ' EPOQUE DU COURANT IMPRESSIONNISTE . MERCI BEAUCOUP JOHN HALL .
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is very inspirational to see these rare time capsules of the Great Masters!
Steven Rogers yes and so rare to be able to see them at work - how they apply paint to the canvass!
What a fabulous record of the artist at work. Thank you !
What a delight and winsome combination of music and vintage film snippets.
+Elizabeth Supeno yes, i think the Chopin allows you to gently reflect on things past! glad you enjoyed it!
A chaque coup de pinceau il tourne la tête pour voir le paysage qu'il peint c'est étonnant ! les tableaux de C Monet ne sont pas célèbres pour la beauté du détail mais pour l'impression , l'ambiance , la sensation de l'environnement , l'odeur plus que la couleur . Il a travaillé les très grandes Nympheas exposées au Musée de l'orangerie à Paris dans son Atelier et pas en extérieur : c'est le fait de se savoir filmé qui lui donne peut être cette attitude ( je le pense ) Document unique de voir Claude Monet filmé ici J don't write english excuse me , very very difficult to write my comments but french people only sorry Mister John Hall
I cant believe that i saw him. Thanks a lotttttt
pleasure - it's incredible to see him actually painting
i wish i could hear what he was saying too.. Love this.. Thank you :)
Thank you !!! Awesome !!!
pleasure :)
I lived in France during the 70's, the gardens at Giverny were in complete ruin. I was astonished the French would allow such a treasure to deteriorate. In any case, this is two minutes of pure magic. Thank you.
i was in France for a year in 1974! i didn't visit the gardens at Giverny - happily they are in good shape today giverny.org/gardens/fcm/visitgb.htm
Thanks John, you piqued my interest, and I was reminded of the farm in Provence of Renoir. There is a book called Renoir's Garden that I think you would find interesting, also Cezanne's Les Louves. Again, Thank you.
pleasure - i've seen 'Renoir's Garden' about - now you have re-piqued my interest - and i'll get it. thanks for the nudge :)
This is completely astonishing! I love this painting
isn't it! and, having a fine arts background, to be able to get a small sense of his painting process is amazing.
After seeing what was likely this same film at the Philadelphia Art Museum years ago, and then visiting the Monet Gardens in Japan, it's nice to see this again.
A window to the past, thank you.
a little like time traveling. which can also be done with Edgar Degas
hi hooligrl666
thanks! amazing to see 'the master' at work!
:)
my name is Monet💞
A tantalisingly short film clip of the great Claude Monet.
Just thanks for this jewelry in video I love you
my pleasure Juan :)
Sweet baby buddha, I love the garden. Monet my homeboy
This dude cracked the code. Everybody else has been living wrong
I cried while watching it is really amazing.
άρχοντας!
This is great, we had no idea there was footage of Monet physically painting his garden!
nor did i - did you see the footage of the other Impressionists i posted? and of Manet
ue emocionante poder ver esse vídeo deste grande artista!!!
Very tranquil to watch. Making beauty for a living!
yes, and a more tranquil age
It was great to see 2 ancients I love, Renor and Monet. Both seemed quite flamboyant and smokers, before the age of cancer.
These 2, despite their flamboyance and sinful depravity, remain my favorite artists amidst many masters. I have studied these 2 for hours and always discovered newness of beauty and prettiness that I SO love and cherish.
Ancient? Well, Monet lived long time ago, but not THAT long xD
Gay they were gay there is proof
One of few artist who is able to live in such a big beautiful house when alive.
Wonderful Monet and wonderful Chopin, what a combination.
Amazing, thank you for sharing!
I would have loved to see the painting he was working on more clearly! this was so exciting to see.
He is painting "Irises By The Pond"..look it up- it's beautiful!
+markjroberts43 i know the painting - thanks for identifying it! how did you find out which it is - it's not clear looking at the footage and comparing with Irises By The Pond?
Wow! Thank you...i Love this on so many levels! :) Play on.
hi! yes, amazing that they had the foresight to film Monet and Degas and Renoir and Rodin!
Estes vídeos são uma mistura vídeo-sensorial, simplesmente espetacular. ❤️
eu concordo completamente
these guys were born just after the advent of photography and here he is still moving in a very modern age.
Isn't that just so lovely?
isn't it :)
its like i found a treasure watching this video...thanks john hall
glad you like it! did you see the footage on Renoir and Degas i uploaded?
Magnifique certainement!
absolutely!
Thank you. Smiles
pleasure :)
Oow so happy to see this. Thx for sharing
God. Damn. Amazing.
hi! isn't it! never imagined seeing Monet at work in his garden.
John Hall
Merci beaucoup John Hall .
Très émouvant . ainsi que le doc sur Renoir souffrant d arthrite et pouvant a peine tenir son pinceau .
Ce qui est incroyable, c'est que, avec l'arthrite, il continue de générer de l'inspiration!
This footage is a great treat!
Guys Its so cute Claude Monet I love you!
I love this little film, it is so poetic by the magical play of light and shadow provided by ancient film technique...... and monet is like a rock, a painting animal, he is his painting ...
+Séverin KRÖN yes, exactly, and the play of light was something that the impressionists were so interested in exploring in terms of how it effected or created colours outdoors.
Sure, ...but what I want to stress here, is that art doesn't seem to be about realism or hd photorealism. It is about expressing an emotional and spiritual intention. It is interesting that a distance between perception and it's rendering by a medium often has a greater impact on the senses and emotions than realism. In this film the black and white of ancient film making creates poetry. In Monets paintings, the flou and very free application of paint on the canvas, the freedome of his gesture...creates the subtle light of cosmic nature !
+Séverin KRÖN
yes, art can be about many other things as well as realism or hd photo-realism.
- the focus can be on
i remember taking two courses in aesthetics in my first degree in fine art and the lecturer asking what we thought art was about and he led us through a range of possibilities - art as social political polemic (as in Picasso's 'Guernica'), as psychological revelation (as Lucian Freud), as formalist explorations of colour, shapes and abstract design (as in the work of Kazimir Malevich) - till we understood it is not just one activity with one underlying goal. and of course a work contains many of these elements, with perhaps one dominant. this was very exhilarating for us to come to grips with.
like with you i am most and deeply engaged when the emotional and spiritual are at the forefront.
+John Hall Ok you are right, art can be many things and have very different goals.......It's just that I am very focused on what is important to me. But can't we say that art in general, in some manner has to create some kind of distance, some kind of disortion of the perception to have it's impact? It's a real question for me.
+Séverin KRÖN
i agree - art is for many people, including me to some degree, one thing - it reflects one's own predispositions, values and so on - there's art i love (what's important to me) and then art i can admire (and do not love but understand is good art).
i think your (very interesting) point that "art in general, in some manner has to create some kind of distance, some kind of distortion of the perception" fits into this. it's true for us (me and you) now but in the C18 in the work of, say, Canaletto there's not this distortion (if i'm reading your comment correctly - maybe i've missed the point LOL!)
Wow! Just look at the ash on that Gauloise. They don't make cigarettes like that any more!
Monet was my first love as a young artist. He seemed to epitomise everything French, chic and natural. His water lilies - painted to the sound of German guns - were a consummate play of figurative and abstract and I thought for a time were the absolute pinnacle of painterly expression.
However, after not seeing his work for many years it comes across as little more than decorative - even escapist. Like most of us, Monet was nostalgic for a time that never existed in a stress-free world where people were simply another feature of an idealised landscape.
Perhaps he was a man of his time - essentially the mid 19th century - before industrial technology had imposed itself on every facet of life - especially warfare with its monstrous killing machines. And maybe that is why he painted the large water lilies - in a desperate attempt to turn the clock back from the horror of the present to arcadia of the past... but what he painted was the dissolving, the dissolution of that dream which, alas, never had substance anyway.

hi Willie
Monet was an early favourite of mine too - as a kid i saw his Blue Water Lilies in Paris at Le Louvre, before the Impressionists' work was moved to the Musée d'Orsay - i loved that the painting sat between paint and representation, not really tipping either way.
i have seen his work everywhere - from ads to billboards and i can become desensitized to it. and like you much art does not make much sense against the many of the atrocities perpetrated against people and animals in the world today - a sort of crazed escapism.
Such a different career path to a dancer. Success tends to come late.
Huge palette and array of brushes but most of all he looks at the subject beforr making a brushstroke.
LINDO...AMO CLAUDE MONET
Il est sublime! Merci!
oui, c'est vrai! pas du tout.
What a beautiful memory.
hi Jennifer Reeder
glad you like this upload - amazing to be able to see Monet at work
:)
My favorite painter! True genius...
hi Eocha24. yes, i've stood transfixed in front of his works in galleries round the world. he sits in a way between reality and abstraction.
Cezanne said he had the greatest eye of any painter that ever lived. After looking at his life's work, it really is true.
Makes me smile
:)
Beautiful!!
isn't it!
Pure gold 🥰
A master !!
I saw the last half of the clip today in a museum in Potsdam (Germany). They show it on a 4x4 meter screen. It is a large exhibition of around 100 monet pictures.
merveilleux.......
This is history !Wow.
C' est Magnifique!
Excelente, una experiencia ver este documento.
This is just beautiful
+Shania Deville isn't it - and you can watch his process!
if he had known he wud be watched in 2022 :)
I like very much the music in the background. Chopin's second piano concerto.
Que maravilloso poder verlo ...gracias por el video es un tesoro.
Mi placer - no es un tesoro!
Dije eso por lo valioso que es el contenido del video...!
Oh ya veo :)
this is AMAZING !!!
Amo este vídeo
:)
Que excelente documento fílmico!
вдохновенная кисть Клода впитала в себя все буйство красок из окружающей красоты
Amazing! But I kept looking at the cigarette hanging from his mouth waiting to see the ashes fall unto the pallet! So I had to watch it twice! lol
hi Jeanne - yes, it's pretty amazing seeing this legendary artist on film - and the ordinariness of him smoking and the ash on the brink! and he moves about so much and still the ash remains attached!
LOVE this! and the music accompanying it!
hi Maeran
it's magical isn't it - the music is from Chopin's Piano Concerto #2, second movement and to me seems to fit and enhance the footage.
I fully agree!! I just love classical music! Really, I love all music. It is just something special when music fits a visual so perfectly!!
Maeran Scott i have a tendency to over-use this piece of music, as i do Erik Satie 'Trois Gymnopédies' - ua-cam.com/video/0WNCBPdetG4/v-deo.html - which is sheer quiet perfection!
John Hall Wonderful choice! Whose the pianist on this recording?
***** hi! sadly i don't know - took the audio from newsreel of a Ballets Russes exhibition - to avoid copyright issues. the playing is captivating isn't it!
Wonder if we could find some cigarette ash in his paintings if we looked for it!
probably! :)
YES! I was expecting to see it fall off into his lovely white beard!
LOL - now whenever i look at this i'll be looking for that cigarette ash! :) i wonder if it was a Gitane? i wish a French lip reader could tell what they are saying?
He was overweight, smoked and lived a long life without the aid of modern medicine,, go figure.
genes - the luck of the draw in this.
Wearing white none the less! This is gem. Thanks.
hi Rob. pleasure. yes amazing seeing him at work. i bet he doesn't wear white while normally at work painting!
I knew it was Ashkenazy playing!! He’s one of my very favorite pianists, but I dk how I can always recognize his playing!
yes, it's hard to know sometimes how we know
