On what date was Claude Monet born in Paris?

Claude Monet was born on 14 November 1840 in Paris, France.

His birth name was Oscar-Claude Monet, although he became widely known simply as Claude Monet. His family moved from Paris to Le Havre when he was a child, and the Normandy coast strongly influenced his early artistic development.

Monet later became one of the central figures of Impressionism. His interest in changing light, outdoor painting, and modern life developed through friendships with artists including Édouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro. His Paris birth is sometimes overlooked because Le Havre is more closely associated with his youth and early career.
