Which French impressionist painted 'Impression, Sunrise'?

The French Impressionist who painted Impression, Sunrise was Claude Monet.

Monet painted Impression, Sunrise in 1872, depicting the port of Le Havre in Normandy, the city where he grew up. The small oil painting shows a hazy harbor at dawn, with a vivid orange sun and two rowboats standing out against the muted blue-gray atmosphere. Its loose brushwork emphasized fleeting light rather than sharply defined detail.

The painting was exhibited in Paris in April 1874 at an independent exhibition organized by Monet and other artists outside the official Salon system. Art critic Louis Leroy used the painting's title when he mockingly described the exhibitors as “Impressionists.” The label soon became the accepted name of the movement, making this work historically important beyond its subject.

Monet was a founder and leading practitioner of Impressionism, but he was not the only major French Impressionist. Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and Berthe Morisot were also central figures. Édouard Manet influenced the movement but is generally associated with its earlier transition rather than being the painter of this particular work.
