Description   

During the 1890's, Monet began to paint pictures of the same scene observed at different times of the day. Of the various series produced in this way (Haystacks, Poplars), the one devoted to Rouen Cathedral is the most important, both because it is the largest and because it is the only series in which all the pictures represent an identical motif. Monet painted more than thirty views of Rouen Cathedral, most of them of the façade, during February-April 1892 and February-March 1893. They were painted from the second stories of 23 place de la Cathédrale (1892) and of 81 rue du Grand-Pont (1893), but were later finished in the artist's studio in Giverny. Most are signed 1894. Twenty were exhibited as a series at the Durand-Ruel gallery in 1895. They sold rapidly for 15.000 francs each, an unusually high price at that time.
