A red rising sun reflects its color in the water toward the observer. The title of the work gave rise in 1874 to the term used by subsequent painters to denote their style. In two of his famous series, he painted the same subject multiple times in different days and lighting, in these cases, the Houses of Parliament and the Rouen ("roo-on") Cathedral. Many of his paintings were done at his house at Giverny ("jee-ver-NEE"), which had a water garden of lilies. For 10 points, name this French impressionist who painted such works as "Water Lilies." And "Impression, Sunrise."
