Monet Impression Sunrise Comparison

 Monet "Impression Sunrise"
Bridal Shoe by B. Gall Designs 

Monet's "Impression Sunrise" painted in 1872, is one of the most iconic impressionism works. He painted this using the technique of plein air which consisted of painting outside very quickly to capture an instant impression of light and color. The painting is done in a very painterly way. The viewer can see the texture and the brush strokes utilized.

B. Gall Designs took inspiration for a bridal shoe collection directly from the impressionist movement. The dreamy color palette of the shoe as well as painterly look is directly pulled from the playbook of the impressionists. The top left of the shoe in particular reminds me of Monet's "Impression Sunrise". Not only do the brush strokes represent the sky in Monet's work, but also the colors are extremely similar. 

This is just another example of how a movement in art history has inspired a designer.
