# Impression, Sunrise is shown at the 1874 Société anonyme exhibition as a public independent hanging

Date: 1874

## The fact

In April 1874 [Monet](/people/claude-monet) showed Impression, soleil levant with the Société anonyme.

It is one event.

## Context

The same show is a private club on a worsening sibling. Do not invent a unique ticket census.

Claude Monet’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

The canvas is his; the hanging was a group act in Nadar’s rooms. Later Marmottan holding is a further access Fact.
Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1874 public showing of Impression, Sunrise. Not established: that 1874 already had 1980 Giverny coaches.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Claude Monet.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.
