Why are Monet's paintings set outdoors?

It's because he was a master of painting "en plein air" - in the open air

He believed that the only true way to capture a moment was by painting it in real time

This is why his paintings feel so alive and vibrant - he was always chasing the feeling of the moment

From the glimmer of light on water to the movement of wind through grass

Monet proved that nature is the best source of inspiration
