In 1872, Claude Monet painted this view of the port of Le Havre at sunrise from the Grand Quai, which would give its name to Impressionism. Alongside Impression, Sunrise and several other paintings by Monet, MuMa is bringing together some thirty works by J.-M.-W. Turner, Gustave Le Gray, Eugène Boudin, Felix Vallotton, and Raoul Dufy, all of whom worked in Le Havre and were interested in how they could each translate the fleetingness of a moment, capturing on canvas the ephemeral beauty of a sky, the movements of the sea, or the course of the sun. An exhibition and a book event, as part of the 500th anniversary of the city of Le Havre.
