On what date did Claude Monet die in Giverny, France?

Claude Monet died on 5 December 1926 in Giverny, France.

Monet was 86 years old. He had spent the final decades of his life at Giverny, where he developed the gardens and painted his celebrated water-lily series. His death came after years of declining health, including serious problems with his eyesight caused by cataracts.

Monet was born in Paris on 14 November 1840 and grew up mainly in Le Havre. He became one of the leading figures of Impressionism, a movement known for visible brushwork, changing light, and scenes from modern life.

His death date is sometimes confused with the dates of his final exhibitions or the later completion of works from his studio. The artist was buried at Giverny’s Sainte-Radegonde church cemetery, rather than in Paris.
