French painter Claude (5)
I believe the answer is:
monet
'french painter claude' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for monet that I've seen before include "French artist shown in ..." , "Giverny painter" , "Claude -, French artist" , "French impressionist (Waterlilies)" , "Claude --, French impressionist painter" .)
