Claude Monet's *The Cathedral in Rouen. The portal, Grey Weather* (1892) is one of a series of paintings depicting the Rouen Cathedral at different times of day and in varied weather conditions. Monet's Impressionist style emphasizes the fleeting nature of light and the passage of time through soft, brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the play of light and shadow on the cathedral's facade. The cool, grey tones in this painting suggest a cloudy day, reflecting the changing atmospheric conditions and their impact on the building's appearance. This is a prime example of Monet's commitment to capturing the ephemeral qualities of light and nature.
