Escape Monet's Bedroom

Monet collected a lot of art and kept it tucked away in his bedroom. This included: Delacroix, Corot, Boudin, Jongkind, Manet, Renoir, Caillebotte, Cézanne, Morisot, Pissarro, Rodin and Signac. He also kept "the good stuff" (his words) of his Japanese collection of Ukiyo-e woodblock, prints there. He described the first floor art as mostly decorations.

There arent any known pictures of his bedroom and his inventory list was lost during World War II, so this model is done by research from others and intuition. Using the research done by Musée dOrsay and having built the first floor with pretty good records to go off of, my version is a most likely a decent reconstruction. It was mentioned that Monet kept his bedroom collection private from most guests and Renoir thought Claudes bedroom to be of museum quality art.

When Monet awoke, he would be able to look out across his garden and the countryside, to see if and where he would like to paint. The art and nature combined to inspire him, or make him escape to his cave and nurse his pride.
