Clair de Lune in D♭ major by Claude Debussy is the third and most famous movement of Suite Bergamasque. It is marked andante très expressif. Its name comes from Verlaine's poem "Clair de lune", the title of which means "moonlight" in French. It is not to be confused with the two settings of the poem made by Debussy for voice and piano accompaniment.

The Suite was written for Piano but there are a huge of Clair de Lune arrangements for different instruments included the Harp.

Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are two leading figures in impressionism, though Debussy rejected this label (in a 1908 letter he wrote "imbeciles call [what I am trying to write in Images] 'impressionism', a term employed with the utmost inaccuracy, especially by art critics who use it as a label to stick on Turner, the finest creator of mystery in the whole of art!") and Ravel displayed discomfort with it, at one point claiming that it could not be adequately applied to music at all.
Debussy's impressionist works typically "evoke a mood, feeling, atmosphere, or scene" by creating musical images through characteristic motifs, harmony, exotic scales (e.g., whole-tone and pentatonic scales), instrumental timbre, large unresolved chords (e.g., 9ths, 11ths, 13ths), parallel motion, ambiguous tonality, extreme chromaticism, heavy use of the piano pedals, and other elements

The Impressionists faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari.
Claude Monet Paintings very close to Debussy's music.
