"Rouen Cathedral: The Portal (Grey Weather)" is a renowned painting by the French Impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet, created in 1894. This artwork is part of a series in which Monet captured the façade of the Rouen Cathedral in Normandy, France, under various lighting conditions at different times of the day and year. The series exemplifies Monet's fascination with the effects of light and color, and his attempt to depict the transient nature of visual perception.

The painting measures 100 x 65 cm and is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. "Rouen Cathedral: The Portal (Grey Weather)" showcases Monet's innovative use of color and brushwork to capture the intricate details of the cathedral's Gothic architecture, shrouded in the diffused light of an overcast day. The palette is dominated by a range of grays, blues, and subtle hints of orange and pink, reflecting the complex interplay of light and shadow on the cathedral's façade.

Monet's series on the Rouen Cathedral, including "The Portal (Grey Weather)," marks a significant moment in the history of art, where the focus shifted from the subject itself to the artist's perception of the subject. Monet painted more than thirty views of the cathedral between 1892 and 1894, working from a rented apartment across the street. He would often work on several canvases simultaneously, moving from one to another as the light changed.

This particular piece, like others in the series, was painted en plein air (outdoors) but received finishing touches in Monet's studio in Giverny. The series challenged traditional notions of painting and is considered a pivotal work in the development of the Impressionist movement. "Rouen Cathedral: The Portal (Grey Weather)" not only demonstrates Monet's mastery over the depiction of light and atmosphere but also underscores his commitment to capturing the ephemeral nature of reality, a theme that would dominate his work for the rest of his career.
