Claude Monet (1840 – 1926), the founder of Impressionism, was one of the most influential landscape painters in the history of art. Born in Paris, Monet was enrolled in the studio of Glenyre, where he met Renoir, Sisley, and Bazille, who became the core of the Impressionist group. Painting outdoors, he broke the tradition of portraying a subject literally by conveying the fleeting effects of atmosphere, time of day, and season upon color and light. Eliminating black and gray from his palette, he represented natural color like a prism, breaking it down into its individual components, often painting a series of the exact same view under different light and weather conditions. Monet brought the study of the transient effects of natural light to its most refined expression, ultimately becoming a forerunner of 20th century modernism.

Honfleur is a port and fishing town on the coast of Normandy, in northern France, sitting on the mouth of the Seine River and directly across from La Havre. Many artists think Honfleur as 'the most ravishing spot in the world'. The two boats in the painting was anchored closely on the river with its reflection on the water, seemly a peaceful and calm landscape picture. Though the color of the whole painting is in gray and black, unlike Claude Monet usual style, viewers could enjoy the real fishing life of Honfleur.
