One of my favorite museums is the Orsay, in Paris. There was one group of paintings I was particularly interested in when I visited. It was Monet's Rouen Cathedral Series. These works are a collection of paintings that Monet created over a period of time that recreated how light hit the cathedral. One of these works is pictured above. Each corresponding work is painted from the same location.
The paintings give a nice insight into just how sunlight looks over periods of time. The brush strokes are quite bold and it is easy to tell what colors the artist used to recreate the scene. If someone were to recreate this on stage all they would need to do is study the artists palate.
