THE ART OF TRANQUILITY
THROUGH AN ARTIST’S EYES
Would you like to meet Jeanne-Marguerite, Monet’s cousin? Or the woman might be his aunt who, after his mother died, apparently became a maternal substitute to the young Claude. A painter herself, Madame Lacadre supported her nephew’s quest to become a professional artist. Done in 1867, Woman in A Garden is now in St. Petersburg, Russia, in The State Hermitage Museum.
