'For me a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearances changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value." - Claude Monet (French painter, initiator and the leader of the impressionist style)
