General View of Rouen was shown to the public for the first time in Rouen in 1994, on the occasion of the 'Rouen, Monet's Cathedrals' exhibition and was acquired by the Rouen Musée des Beaux-Arts the following year. It had been kept in the artist's studio and bears the studio stamp. On Monet's death it was sold on the art market by the heirs to his estate.
