Impression, Sunrise, 1872
Claude Monet
Oil on canvas · 48 x 63 cm
A hazy harbour sketch that gave an entire movement its name.
The painting that named a movement: when Monet showed this misty harbour dawn in 1874, a critic sneered at its 'impression,' and Impressionism had its label. A blazing orange sun and a few loose strokes conjure the whole shimmering scene.
