⭐The image that started a movement: Claude Monet "Impression Sunrise" (1874) oil on canvas | 48 × 63 cm (19 × 25 in). Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, France #ArtSky #Monet #Impressionism

"Impression, Sunrise" (Impression, soleil levant), an iconic 1872 oil painting by French artist Claude Monet. Depicting the harbor of Le Havre, this historic work inspired the name of the Impressionist movement.

The masterpiece depicts the harbor of Le Havre, Monet's hometown, shrouded in a hazy morning mist. It is famously credited with giving rise to the name of the entire Impressionist art movement. After art critic Louis Leroy derisively used the term "Impressionistic" in a review of the painting's 1874 debut exhibition, the group of artists proudly adopted it as their moniker.
The original painting resides permanently at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, France.
