"Rouen Cathedral, Sunlight Effect" is a painting by the French Impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet, completed in 1894. It is part of a series of paintings by Monet that depict the Rouen Cathedral, a Gothic church in Rouen, Normandy, at different times of the day and year, showcasing the changes in the play of light on its façade. This particular painting captures the cathedral bathed in sunlight, emphasizing the transient effects of light and color that were central to Impressionist painting.

Monet began the series during the winter of 1892 and continued through 1893, eventually creating more than 30 canvases of the cathedral. In "Rouen Cathedral, Sunlight Effect," Monet explores the nuances of light and its impact on the intricate architectural details of the cathedral's portal. The artist often worked on several canvases simultaneously, shifting from one to another as the light changed. He rented a space across from the cathedral to use as a temporary studio, which allowed him to capture these ephemeral moments with immediacy.

The Rouen Cathedral series is celebrated for its innovative use of color and brushwork to convey the atmospheric conditions and the texture of the stone. Monet's focus on light and shadow preoccupied him to the extent that the subject of the painting—the cathedral itself—seems to dissolve into the luminous environment. "Rouen Cathedral, Sunlight Effect" exemplifies Monet's dedication to capturing the perceptual experience of the moment and is a testament to his enduring influence on the development of modern art.

The painting is held in various art institutions around the world, with each version offering a unique glimpse into Monet's artistic process and his fascination with the interplay of light, time, and architecture. As part of the larger Rouen Cathedral series, "Rouen Cathedral, Sunlight Effect" contributes to the understanding of Monet's work during the 1890s and is a significant piece within the broader context of Impressionist painting.
