Claude Monet



growing up in Boston, I spent countless weekends perusing the galleries at the Museum of Fine Art. my favorites were always the Impressionists and the Egyptian exhibit.

the painting above is found in the impressionist exhibit there, it is of Rouen Cathedral by Claude Monet. Monet did a whole series on the cathedral, or rather on the ways light illuminated the cathedral. he painted the building throughout several seasons and at different times of day in order to capture the different effects of sunlight, or lack thereof.
