About the Impression, Sunrise Painting
The view of this painting looks over the Le
Havre harbor in France. Sunrise is thought
of as an important painting of the impressionist
movement as art critics used this painting
to deride the exhibition.
Louis Leroy called the group of painters from
the 1874 exhibition, where Sunrise was exhibited,
the Impressionists. The term stuck and has
since become the name of the movement. |
