Monet's Sunrise Impression

At that time, it was named after claude monet's oil painting Impression of Sunrise and was ridiculed by a reporter. This photo depicts the early morning in Le affret Harbor, and the sun has just risen. Because the painter has to finish his work in a very short moment before the light changes, he can't paint the picture in great detail. When academic painters saw this painting, they thought it was rough and too casual, so they mocked the painters of "barbizon" in sarcastic language, saying that they were a group of painters who didn't understand painting at all, and "Impression of Sunrise" was painted casually by impression, and some people echoed that these painters were "impressionists". Unexpectedly, these sarcastic words helped these painters.
