Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), c. 1872 by Claude Monet

Impression, Sunrise, painted by Claude Monet in 1872 depicts the harbor at Le Havre at dawn, its cranes and masts dissolved in mist behind a small rowboat silhouetted against a luminous orange sun. Exhibited in 1874 at the first independent group show organized by Monet and his colleagues, the painting gave a hostile critic the word he used to mock the exhibitors as mere impressionists, a label the painters then claimed for themselves. The canvas is now regarded as one of the founding works of modern painting.
