"Rouen Cathedral, Sunlight Effect" (French: "Cathédrale de Rouen, effet de soleil") is one of a series of paintings by the French Impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet. Created in the 1890s, this body of work captures the façade of the Rouen Cathedral in Normandy at different times of day and year, reflecting the changing light and its effects on the Gothic architecture. Monet's fascination with the interplay of light, color, and shadow is exemplified in these paintings, as he returned to the same subject under varying conditions to explore the transient nature of perception.

The "Sunlight Effect" variation emphasizes the warm, golden hues of the cathedral's front as it is bathed in sunlight. Monet's technique involved applying paint in small, meticulous strokes, which allowed him to depict the subtle nuances of light with great precision. This particular piece, like others in the series, showcases Monet's interest in atmospheric conditions and the challenges of capturing them on canvas.

Monet's Rouen Cathedral series is celebrated for its innovative approach to a single subject and is considered a high point in his exploration of light and color. The works were painted from a fixed viewpoint, through a window of a building across from the cathedral, which allowed Monet to maintain a consistent framing while the natural lighting conditions provided the variable element. The "Sunlight Effect" is a testament to Monet's dedication to Impressionism and his pursuit of capturing the ephemeral qualities of light on a solid structure. The series as a whole contributed significantly to the discourse on the perception of color and form in art, influencing future generations of artists.

The Rouen Cathedral paintings were met with both critical acclaim and commercial success during Monet's lifetime. They were exhibited in Paris in 1895, where they garnered attention for their bold use of color and innovative representation of light. Today, the "Sunlight Effect" and its companion pieces are held in various art museums around the world, where they continue to be studied and admired for their technical brilliance and profound impact on the development of modern art.
