"Rouen Cathedral, the Portal, Morning Fog" is a seminal artwork by the French Impressionist painter Claude Oscar Monet, created in 1894. This painting is part of a larger series in which Monet captured the façade of the Rouen Cathedral in Normandy, France, under varying light conditions and at different times of the day. Monet's series on the Rouen Cathedral is celebrated for its exploration of the effects of light and color, marking a high point in the Impressionist movement.

The painting "Rouen Cathedral, the Portal, Morning Fog" specifically depicts the Gothic architecture of the cathedral's portal enveloped in the soft, diffused light of a foggy morning. Monet's interest was not in the architectural details of the cathedral but in the interplay of light and shadow, and how the changing conditions of the day affected the color and perception of the structure. By focusing on the effects of morning fog, Monet was able to explore a range of subtle color variations, capturing the ethereal and transient nature of light.

Monet painted the cathedral series, including "Rouen Cathedral, the Portal, Morning Fog," from a rented apartment across from the cathedral. He worked on several canvases simultaneously, switching between them as the day progressed and the light changed. This methodical approach allowed him to capture the fleeting moments of light with precision and depth, a testament to his dedication to the Impressionist ethos of painting en plein air (outdoors) to capture the momentary effects of light and color.

The series, including this particular painting, was met with critical acclaim when it was first exhibited in 1895. It underscored Monet's reputation as a master of light and color, and his ability to transform a static architectural subject into a vibrant, living scene through his brushwork and color palette. "Rouen Cathedral, the Portal, Morning Fog" is not only a significant work in Monet's oeuvre but also a pivotal piece in the history of Impressionist painting, demonstrating the movement's core principles of capturing the ephemeral nature of light and the artist's immediate impression of a scene.
