“Sunrise”, also known as “Impression, Sunrise”, is a distinctive painting created by French Impressionist artist Claude Monet in 1872. This masterpiece is frequently credited for giving the Impressionist art movement its name, breaking away from the academic painting conventions of his time and capturing the fleeting qualities of light, colour, atmosphere.

The painting features the panoramic view of port of Le Havre, France at sunrise, showcasing the atmospheric effects of light and colour through loose brushstrokes and using a vibrant palette. The tranquil and misty harbour is dotted with boats and masts silhouetted against the rising sun, with their forms effectively depicted by Money through the play of light and shadow on the water’s surface.

“Sunrise” is celebrated for its innovative approach of capturing fleeting moments and natural light, laying the foundation for the Impressionist style. Monet transformed a simple sunrise over a harbour into a transcendent work of art that continues to captivate viewers, allowing the scene to be alive with energy through the sense of movement and vitality. As the dawn breaks over Le Havre, we are reminded of the power of art in capturing the ephemeral beauty of the natural world.

On a canvas of 165 x 125mm, a new minting technique called “Tri-Metal ” was applied to give this piece its remarkable weight while keeping its proportions true to the actual painting. This is made possible by combining 750g of Zinc as a center layer and 120g of copper as a base with a top layer of 2.5 oz of 999 fine Silver, resulting in a high relief. This is a limited edition of 399 pieces only. Each piece is packaged and delivered with a Certificate verifying its edition number and authenticity.
