Morning, after the Rain, Rouen 1896

Camille Pissarro's "Morning, after the Rain, Rouen" (1896) depicts a bustling scene along the Seine River in Rouen, France. Painted in the Impressionist style, the work captures the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, using short, broken brushstrokes and a muted color palette to convey the soft, hazy quality of the post-rain morning. The scene is dominated by several ships docked along the riverbank, their dark hulls contrasting with the pale sky and water. This is an example of Pissarro's interest in depicting modern life and the changing cityscape, a key feature of Impressionism.
