Impression, Sunrise, 1872 – Claude Monet Wall Art | Iconic Impressionist Harbour Canvas Print

Painted in 1872 and exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise is one of the most historically significant paintings in the history of Western art — the work that gave the entire Impressionist movement its name. The painting captures the Le Havre harbour at dawn, the hazy industrial port dissolving into a shimmering expanse of orange and grey as a small rowing boat passes before the blazing reflection of the rising sun. Rendered with extraordinary spontaneity and atmospheric immediacy, the work was initially ridiculed by critics, but it went on to define a new approach to painting that transformed European art. An utterly iconic and historically defining work for any interior that values the finest art history has to offer.
