The first painting “Impression Sunrise” is an impressionist painting by Claude Monet and was painted in 1872 and is “a depiction of the harbor of Le Havre, France Monet uses short expressive brush strokes to simply suggest the watery landscape” (Art Factory, n.d). The painting is of the sunrise over the port of Le Havre. “The imagery of this work of art presents a focus on the calm feeling of a misty maritime scene.” Slightly below the center of the painting, a small rowboat with two indistinct figures floats in the bay” (Yurasits, n.d) and other larger ships in the background barely seen through a gray haze. The focus of the painting is the sun and it’s reflection on the water.
