Is Monet's oil painting Sunrise a masterpiece of Impressionism?

Impression of Sunrise depicts the harbor scene at sunrise under the cover of morning fog. Among the colors composed of lavender, reddish, blue-gray and orange, a vibrant red sun dragged a ray of orange waves in the sea, and the Ran Ran rose. Sea, sky and scenery are intertwined and integrated, and the style is relaxed. Three boats near the sea were gradually blurred in the mist, and distant buildings, ports, cranes, ships and masts were also looming in the morning light. All this was painted by the painter looking out of the window. So boldly use the "messy" brush strokes to express the scene of fog blending. This is an artistic rebellion for the artists of Salon College who have always been orthodox. Painting is a kind of instantaneous visual feeling and lively artistic conception, and the cautious and clear outline and rigid tone advocated by the official academic art in the past are gone. This rebellious painting caused official opposition.

When Monet and a group of young painters held an exhibition in 1874, the impression of sunrise was vilified and ridiculed. Some critics sarcastically said: "The blank wallpaper is also more complete than this seascape!" According to the title of this painting, some people even allegorized that the young artist headed by Monet was "Impressionist", so "Impressionism" became the laurel of this painting school.
