Monet

El nom que Monet donà al seu quadre, però, donà nom a tot el moviment de joves pintors que seguia aquestes noves tendències. Monet no volia fer una representació topogràfica del port de Le Havre, només la impressió que li causà observar-lo en un moment determinat i des d'un lloc concret.

Claude Monet, in full Oscar-Claude Monet, (born November 14, 1840, Paris, France—died December 5, 1926, Giverny), French painter who was the initiator, leader, and unswerving advocate of the Impressionist style. In his mature works, Monet developed his method of producing repeated studies of the same motif in series, changing canvases with the light or as his interest shifted.
