The 100 most famous paintings of the Impressionism

Ranked by how widely each painting is known. The artist, the date, the size of the original, the museum that holds it today — and one detail to look for.

  1. Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet, 1872, Musée Marmottan Monet

    1872Oil on canvas48 × 63 cmMusée Marmottan Monet, Paris

    Claude Monet's "Impression, Sunrise" is a seminal work that epitomizes the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a tranquil harbor scene with several boats scattered across calm waters. "Impression, Sunrise" was first shown at what would become known as the "Exhibition of the Impressionists" in Paris in April 1874. Following the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, the regeneration of France was exemplified in the thriving port of Le Havre, adding a layer of political significance to the artwork.

    Initially rejected by the official Paris Salon – the prestigious annual exhibition – this artwork became a centerpiece of the infamous Salon des Refusés, an exhibition for works deemed unacceptable by the conservative jury. It subtly references classical pastoral scenes – like Titian's Pastoral Concert – but subverts them by placing the figures firmly within a contemporary context.
