Giverny’s history: impressionist movement, home for painters

A French commune located in the Eure department of the Haute-Normandie region, Giverny is globally renowned as the chosen residence of one of the most influential figures of the Impressionist artistic movement. Indeed, Claude Monet decided to settle here in 1883. As such, the city's architecture, tourism economy, reputation, and history have all been shaped by the Impressionist movement. The village of Giverny is first mentioned around 1025 in the Latinized form of Giverniacum. King Charles II the Bald officially recognized the monks of the Saint-Denis-le-Ferment abbey as owners of the village. In the eleventh century, Giverny was allocated to the Saint-Ouen abbey in Rouen. Several monasteries were established there during the medieval period. Among them, the barn was used for the collection of taxes until the Revolution. After the revolution, the Giverny lands were acquired by the Lorier family. The religious life of this northwestern French commune, along with the influence of the Impressionist movement, attracted painters from around the world, particularly Americans, who came to meet Monet and then remained in the region. Claude Monet's gardens and home attracted nearly 530,000 visitors in 2023, making it a vital part of the local economy. Monet's residence ranks second only to the Mont Saint-Michel abbey among the most visited sites in Normandy.

All of them were eager to put into practice the Impressionist principles, popular at the time, amidst the stunning Norman landscapes.

The Museum of Impressionism, formerly the Giverny Museum of American Art, resulted from a partnership between the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Departmental Council of Eure, the Departmental Council of Seine-Maritime, the Haute-Normandie region, the community of municipalities, the city of Vernon, and the renowned Musée d'Orsay in 2009.
