Monet"s Sunset
Monet sunset paintings were highly common and exceptionally skilled.
There were several truly memorable paintings such as Sunset in Venice, Impression Sunrise, Houses of Parliament, Sunset on the Seine and Waterlilies at Sunset.
Artist Monet is remembered most for his bold and carefully selected colour balances that were always aided by topics that included a sunset or sunrise as this offered an excellent opportunity to include his much loved tones of reds, yellows and oranges alongside the purples and blues which normally made up his complex and energetic sky scenes.
Claude Monet established a reputation as one of the greatest landscape painters of all time and was the star of the famous impressionist art movement, which itself was respected for it's innovation and bold use of bright colours that was relatively new at the time they first achieved success in the mid 19th century.
Sunsets and sunrises have long since been an excellent source of artistic inspiration but were even more appealing to impressionists like Monet who were making their name on the same style of colour that was inherent within any natural sunrise or sun setting scene.
Additionally to the impressionists, in the modern era photographers have used this topic as a great opportunity to maximise their location with their photographs as at this time many exciting changes of light occur which will always create new opportunities for artists involved in this digital method of capturing a scene.
Even with the rise in popularity of black and white photography in recent years there is still use of sunrise and sunsets because of the grayscale gradients that it brings right across the particular subject that has been chosen by the respective photographer.
For those who stick to colour, however, of course they get the most gains from this time of the day which is almost like a new season in fast forward.
Conclusively Claude Monet was a skilled and imaginative artist who concentrated most of the display of bright colours within his paintings and he quickly discovered that landscapes offered different artistic opportunities and challenges at different times, be it times of the day or seasons of the year.
One great experiment for Monet was to cover the same location during periods of the day and to see how this influenced the light across each object within the landscape.
Sunsets and sunrises were obvious opportunities to bring in new colour balances to tried and tested locations which would also give them a new fresh look.
