Morning, An Overcast Day, Rouen 1896

Camille Pissarro's "Morning, An Overcast Day, Rouen" (1896) depicts a bustling scene of a bridge over the Seine river in Rouen, France. Pissarro, a key figure in the Impressionist movement, captures the city's urban landscape and the movement of people and boats through a series of short, distinct brushstrokes and subtle color variations. The painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Pissarro's dedication to capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in a rapidly changing modern world.
