He depicted a number of poles next to to the Santa Maria della Salute in a series of paintings of the Grand Canal in Venice. A faceless woman in a spreading white dress sits behind this artist in a John Singer Sargent depiction of him (*) "painting at the edge of a wood". His late-life cataracts influenced the production of a series of paintings made in his Giverny flower garden. He included a surprisingly non-luminant sun in a depiction of the harbor of Le Havre that, via critic Louis Leroy, gave its name to a movement he pioneered. For 10 points, name this painter of series on Haystacks and Water Lilies who also created Impression, Sunrise.
