Monet‘s Impression Sunrise painting is a crucial element to the Impressionist art story, which Claude Monet played a crucial role in. Dated 1872/1873 its subject is the French harbour of Le Havre. The idea behind the style and naming of the painting was to give an ‘impression’ of a landscape, rather than accurate rendition. The word was later used to describe the new art movement which Monet was to become a part of. The painting now hangs in the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris.
Impressionism in one form, or another, had been around since the 1860s through the likes of Boudin, Degas, Cézanne, Guillaumin, Monet, Berthe Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir and Sisley, but it was now to have a name, and later to gain critical recognition for the first time.
In Impression, Sunrise the bright, orange sun contrasts against the gray, still dawn. The interesting aspect of the painting is that the sun, whilst small and covering only a very small part of the painting remains an intriguing focal point of the painting, and in fact is the clearest element of it.
Impressionism often involves fast work over a short period of time in order to capture a specific point in time, where the lighting and weather conditions are all to the liking of the artist. Monet is known to have had problems completing an art series in England due to the notoriously ever-changing weather, but was still able complete some works of the Houses of Parliament & River Thames areas, that were similar in style to Impression, Sunrise. Monet‘s Haystacks series also followed his impressionist style of emotional painting, with a key emphasis on the study of lighting across a number of paintings.
Whilst Monet‘s paintings such as his Lily series and Japanese bridge remain better known, the Impression Sunrise was an important piece for its role in the naming of the Impressionist art movement and the way it brought together some incredible artists under one banner for the first time. From there on their art became popular and the Impressionist movement has since gone from strength to strength, continued on by other impressionist-influenced movements.
