no. 016
impression, soleil levant (sunrise) by claude monet
oil on canvas, 1872 in le havre
location: musée marmotan monet paris
it is time to talk about one of the GOATs. and for that occasion i chose the painting that gave a whole style of art its name. monet painted it from a window and wanted to call it differently in the first place. even though it aint one of my favorites of him, i can't doubt its magical touch. it just gives off the typical impressionism vibe. an everyday life situation, but with a special energy.
