Monet_And_Friedrich

Monet And Friedrich The central image of both paintings is a church. This characteristic is one of the few similar characteristics the two paintings share. They practiced two different styles, painting in two different times, and enjoyed painting two different types of subjects. Toward the middle of the 1880’s, a few artists became disenchanted with the ideals of impressionism. Some moved onto fantasy and others to a more classical style (Renior). However Monet stayed true to the Impressionist’s study of nature. His paintings were also a break from impressionism in two small ways; during this period Monet would take his work back to his studio and away from the spontaneity that came from the earlier Impressionist works which were done in front of the subject of the painting. Secondly, the subject became secondary to the effects of light and weather. The painting we are to examine, Rouen Cathedral, West Façade, Sunlight, is a part of a series of paintings that he did of the Rouen Cathedral. Monet painted the Cathedral at different times of the day, in different times of the year, with different effects of light playing upon the walls of the Cathedral.
