Title, Impression, sunrise, Artist: Claude Monet, Completion Date: 1873, Style: Impressionism, Genre: cityscape
The Linnet's Wings
When Impression, Sunrise hung at its first exhibition in 1874,
art critic Louis Leroy derisively used the term “Impressionistic,”
from the title of this painting, to describe Monet’s works. This term
was quickly adopted by what were soon to be known as the
Impressionist painters, and the exhibition which included other
works by Impressionist artists, was from then on referred to as the
“Impressionist Exhibition.” This painting was later stolen in 1985
