painting by Claude Monet, 1872 (Museum: musée Marmottan Monet)
"Landscape is nothing but an impression, and an instantaneous one, hence this label that was given us, by the way because of me. I had sent a thing done in Le Havre, from my window, sun in the mist and a few masts of boats sticking up in the foreground. ... They asked me for a title for the catalogue, it couldn't really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: 'Put Impression." Claude Monet
Claude Monet was a founder of French impressionist painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting "Impression, Sunrise" (Impression, soleil levant)
