Did you know?
Claude Monet's early seascapes, like this one from Le Havre, were crucial in the development of Impressionism. It was in this very port town that he created "Impression, Sunrise" a few years later, which famously gave the movement its name. These marine paintings demonstrate his innovative approach to capturing the fleeting moments of light and weather directly from nature.
