Camille Monet
7:00 pm–8:00 pm
The painter Claude Monet met the young Camille Doncieux in Paris in the mid-1860s. She became his lover and model, appearing in some 50 canvases by the painter, as well as in the art of their friends Manet and Renoir. In 1876, three years before Camille’s death, Monet completed one of the most astonishing of these works, the full-length, vividly colored painting that he called La Japonaise—now one of the treasures of the MFA.
In this lecture, explore the complex history of Camille Monet—a model, muse, and memory.
