Claude Monet is considered one of the fathers of Impressionism. The painter studied light for a long time, trying to capture the changing atmospheres of places, and it was a painting by him that gave its name to a group of revolutionary artists; the very name of the group derives from one of his works from 1872: Impression, soleil levant, the famous canvas which depicts the atmosphere of dawn in the port of Le Havre, a port town in Upper Normandy.
