Impression, Sunrise is a seminal work by Claude Monet, often regarded as the catalyst for the Impressionism art movement. Painted in 1872, it depicts a misty harbor scene at Le Havre, with the rising sun casting its gentle glow on the water and boats. The painting's loose brushwork and vibrant color palette, combined with the emphasis on capturing the play of light and atmosphere, epitomize the core principles of Impressionism. Through this work, Monet sought to convey the fleeting nature of light and evoke a sense of atmosphere and mood rather than precise details. Impression, Sunrise sparked a revolution in art, inspiring a generation of artists to break free from traditional conventions and explore the realm of subjective perception and the beauty of fleeting moments.
