S. T. Dupont Monet Blue and Gold Fountain Pen Limited Edition #0711/1872

  

Impression, soleil levant is a painting by Claude Monet first shown at what would become known as the «Exhibition of the Impressionists» in Paris. Painted in just a few hours, this fleeting image is surprising for unusual degree of freedom in its workmanship. Judging that it could not feasibly be taken for a view of Le Havre, he entitled the painting Impression. The term, originally used as painter's jargon, was on everyone's lips by the middle of the century. It described landscape painters' growing interest in rendering an atmosphere or impression, forgoing a detailed depiction of nature.

Since then the term has referred to the group formed by Monet and his friends. Today, Impression, Sunrise is a symbol of this movement. The original painting is currently preserved in the Marmottan Monet Museum inParis, theuniversal legacy museum of Claude Monet.

Recognised as the start of the Impressionist movement, Impression, Sunrise was painted on November 13, 1872. In honour of the anniversary it shares with Monet's ground-breaking work, S. Dupont salutes Impression, Sunrise in an exceptional limited edition showcasing the unique expertise of its Master Lacquerers. On each piece, Monet's Impression, Sunrise is meticulously hand painted in pigments identically reflecting those of the original painting. The magnificently shifting blues together with the orange of the rising sun make this a particularly luminous collection. Each product is delicately engraved with the signature of Claude Monet. The unique collection is limited to 1872 pieces.
