I like his rural paintings, but I also like his Paris paintings, like this one:

So evocative.

A magnificent accomplishment, technically more so than the one above, I feel. We can zoom in digitally, but the Paris painting, with all its intricate detail - managed through Impressionism! - demands to be seen in situ. It speaks of anonymity, whereas the rural scene speaks of natural community and is consoling.

Yes there is a completely different feel about it - that is one of the aspects if his work that impresses me - the variety. Plus its just pleasant to look at.
The other room with the Monets was in a movie - The Thomas Crown Affair - the second one. Though my favorite film about a museum heist is How to Steal a Million - Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Charming. Though my favorite Audrey Hepburn Movie is Roman Holiday. Which may have ahd a museum in it somewhere.
