About the painting

A view of the port of Le Havre at dawn whose title gave the entire Impressionist movement its name, after a critic mockingly seized on the word "impression." Its loose brushwork and emphasis on light and atmosphere over detail are now seen as defining the style. It is in the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris.
