Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant) is a painting by Claude Monet, for which the impressionist movement was named.
Dated 1872, but probably created in 1873, it depicts the harbour of Le Havre and displayed in 1874 during at the first independent impressionist art show of impressionist (who were not yet known by that name).
Hostile critic, Louis Leroy, inspired by the painting's name, titled review of the show in Le Charivari newspaper, "The Exhibition of the Impressionists", thus inadvertantly naming the new art movement.
Leroy wrote,
- Impression — I was certain of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed, there had to be some impression in it … and what freedom, what ease of workmanship! Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape.
