"In front of Monet's 20 views of the building, one begins to realize that art, in setting out to express nature with ever growing accuracy, teaches us to look, to perceive, to feel. The stone itself becomes an organic substance, and one can feel it being transformed as one moment in its life succeeds another."
—Georges Clemenceau on Monet's series paintings of Rouen Cathedral.
