Monet Impression Sunrise Marine Classic Painting Placemat

Claude Monet's Sunrise (Marine), painted in 1872, is one of the most renowned works of the French Impressionist movement. Created en plein air, meaning Monet painted it outdoors, this artwork captures the beauty of the early morning light as the sun rises over the harbor. The brushstrokes are loose and spontaneous, characteristic of Monet's innovative style that sought to capture the momentary effects of light. The painting focuses on the interplay between the soft orange glow of the sunrise and the cool blues and greens of the water, presenting a peaceful and dynamic scene. This masterpiece helped define the Impressionist movement and remains one of Monet's iconic works today.
