Whose painting impression, sunrise inspired the use of the term impressionism?

Claude Monet

Explanation:

    Impression, soleil Levant, in English, Impression, Sunrise, is the most celebrated and important work of Claude Monet. It is an oil on canvas, dated 1872 (but probably made in 1873), which represents the sunrise in the harbor of Havre, with a thick fog over the yard and the boats and chimneys in the background of the composition. The title of the work ends by naming the group of impressionist painters. The term impressionism came when a criticism of this canvas was made by painter and writer Louis Leroy: "Impression, Sunrise" - I knew it! if I'm impressed it's because there is an impression there. And what a freedom, what a soft brush! A wallpaper is more elaborate than this marine scene. " The term was originally used pejoratively, but Monet and his colleagues adopted the designation of Impressionists.
