I chose this piece because, not only am I a fan of Monet's and the whole Impressionist movement, but I saw this piece in the National Gallery of Art in D.C. a few months ago. Now, I love art, but I spent six hours at the museum, looking at classical paintings about religion and traditional subjects, and it was very dull. However, everything changed when we walked in to the Impressionist gallery: there were beautiful colors, fantastic movement, and everything in the painting just felt so VIVID. This is hands down my favorite piece in the National Gallery of Art (at least in the West Wing).
