Why is this painting famous?
Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet is famous because it —almost accidentally— gave its name to the Impressionist movement. It depicts the port of Le Havre with quick brushstrokes and a misty atmosphere that broke away from the academic conventions of the time. When a critic used the title to mock the work, the term “Impressionism” was adopted by the group and became the banner of an artistic revolution that transformed modern painting.Discover more famous paintings
