Rouen Cathedral 1893

Claude Monet's "Rouen Cathedral" (1893) is a prime example of Impressionism. The painting captures the façade of the Rouen Cathedral in a series of brushstrokes and hues that represent the shifting light and atmosphere. This work showcases Monet's innovative approach to capturing fleeting moments in nature, challenging traditional artistic norms of representation. The use of color and light to depict the cathedral, highlights the beauty of the natural world and emphasizes the effect of time and the passage of light on the perception of an object.
