About the piece

Created between 1892 and 1894, this work is part of Claude Monet's celebrated series exploring the effects of light on the Rouen Cathedral. In this composition, the heavy stone architecture of the cathedral portal appears to dissolve into a vibrant, shimmering haze of warm sunset tones and deep atmospheric shadows.
