Here comes the sun...
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Claude Monet's painting "Impression, soleil levant" and the dedicated exhibition "Facing the Sun - a star in the arts" organised by the Marmottan Monet Museum, Art Explora Academy invites you to explore the representation of the Sun in the arts. From Monet to Turner or Van Gogh, discover how this luminous star has inspired artists, symbolising beauty, joy, or power.
In 1872, Monet painted Impression, Sunrise. The title of the painting gave its name to Impressionism, an artistic movement of major influence in modern art which reinvents our relationship with painting, its materiality, its touch and its colours.
