Rouen Cathedral Series

The Rouen Cathedral Series refers to a famous set of paintings by Claude Monet, capturing the façade of Rouen Cathedral at different times and lighting conditions. Created between 1892 and 1894, these works explore how natural light and weather transform the appearance of the Gothic architecture. Monet's impressionist style emphasizes color and atmosphere over detailed realism, inviting viewers to experience the shifting mood and essence of the cathedral rather than a static image. This series demonstrates Monet's fascination with light and his ability to convey fleeting moments through innovative brushwork and color.
