Art blog Monet, Giverny and Normandy post on celebrating Claude Monet’s painting the Rouen Cathedral (and much more!)
Claude Monet: Artist’s house in Agenteuil, by terren in Virginia
This year’s summer festival entitled ‘Les Nuits Impressionnistes’ (1 June to 30 September) will celebrate Normandy’s impressionists in front of Rouen Cathedral. A definite maybe for this year’s Europe vacation for you art lovers then?
Suffice to say that it was over a period of a few months that Monet painted Rouen Cathedral 30 different times, using variable daylight and weather conditions (just to get the right impression!)
At the moment the area in front of Rouen Cathedral is a building site, as the city’s trying to outdo its own previous record. If you cannot wait till summer, you can always plan Europe travel to Florence, if only to discover those precious Italian art secrets!
