Claude Monet, an emblematic figure of Impressionism, is a French painter born in 1840 and known for his ability to capture light and emotions in his works. In 1872, he painted Impression, Sunrise, a painting that would become legendary.  | Depicting the port of Le Havre at sunrise, with the sun bathing the scene in a soft orange light, this painting is both simple and powerful. What is striking is the misty atmosphere and the way in which the quickly applied brushstrokes suggest more than they describe. This innovative style gave its name to the Impressionist movement, thanks to an ironic critique of the time. Yet this work marks a revolution in art, emphasizing fleeting impressions and the beauty of the present moment. |
