Rouen Cathedral series _{(Claude Monet, Impressionism)}

The Rouen Cathedral series was painted in the 1890s by French impressionist Claude Monet. The paintings in the series each capture the facade of the Rouen Cathedral at different times of the day and year and reflect changes in its appearance under different lighting conditions.

In this series, the hard surface texture of Rouen Cathedral seems to melt, becoming a beautiful and soft song of pure colors and light. It perfectly reflects the Optical Realism by recording the color and light changes over time.
