When Claude Monet’s painting of his hometown’s harbor titled Impression, Sunrise debuted in a Paris art show in 1874, critics had no idea what to make of it.  Despite the qualms and complaints of art critics, Monet’s piece became famous. Many artists began to mimic the style of Monet’s painting, which departed from the carefully realistic portraiture and history paintings of previous works and instead aimed to present the suggestion of a subject, paying special attention to the interaction of light with the subject.  This style eventually developed into an entire artistic movement that took its name from Monet’s painting and came to be called “impressionism.”
