In 1862 Monet returned to Le Havre, perhaps because of illness, and again painted the sea with Boudin, while also meeting the Dutch marine painter Johan Barthold Jongkind. Later that year he continued to study in Paris, this time with the academician Charles Gleyre, in whose atelier he met the artists Frederic Bazille, Alfred Sisley, and Renoir. After disagreements with their master, the group departed for the village of Chailly-en-Biere, near Barbizon in the forest of Fontainebleau. It was also during this period-or at least before 1872-that Monet discovered Japanese prints, the decorativeness and flatness of which were to have a strong influence on the development of modern painting in France.
