Morning Haze
1888
Claude Monet masterfully captures the fleeting, ethereal quality of a foggy morning in this dreamlike landscape. Barely visible trees rise like ghosts from a sea of pale blues, pinks, and whites, dissolving into the misty atmosphere. As a pioneer of Impressionism, Monet was obsessed with how light changed throughout the day, often painting the same scene multiple times to catch different moods. He famously said he wanted to paint the air itself, and looking at this hazy, almost abstract scene, it's easy to see why he's considered the master of light and atmosphere.
