Curator Talk: Monet’s Rouen Cathedral Façade and Tour d’Albane (Morning Effect)

Claude Monet (1840–1926) captured the dramatic shifts of light on the Rouen Cathedral through a series of paintings between 1892 and 1894. Oliver Tostmann, Susan Morse Hilles Curator of European Art, examines Monet’s Rouen Cathedral Façade and Tour d’Albane (Morning Effect), on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and positions the painting within the artist’s oeuvre.
