Rouen Cathedral, West Façade, Sunlight 1894

La Cathédrale de Rouen, plein soleil · 鲁昂大教堂·阳光

Monet took rooms opposite the cathedral and painted the same stone face more than thirty times over two winters, waiting for specific weather. The stone stops being stone: it becomes a surface that the light is doing something to.
