Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet

Impression, Sunrise (1872)

Claude Monet | Impressionism | Oil on canvas

A hazy morning at a harbor with boats and an orange sun. This quick, sketchy painting gave a whole art movement its name!

Did you know? Monet picked the title himself! When the show needed one, he said the picture couldn't really pass as a view of the harbor at Le Havre, so he told them, 'Put Impression.' In 1874 a critic named Louis Leroy made fun of it, joking that half-made wallpaper looked more finished. He teased the painters as 'Impressionists,' but they kept the name!
