An Objet d'Art Book: Monet Cathedrals

by Edward Leffingwell

Claude Monet’s thematic cycle of paintings of the Rouen Cathedral is one of the most famous art series of all time. These masterworks capture the changing play of light and shadow on different areas of the cathedral throughout the day, from early morning to nightfall. Here they are, side by side, so that the brilliance of Monet’s achievement, with its beautiful palette and exquisite framing, shines through.
