История французского импрессионизма: от Моне до Ван Гога.
Professor Richard Brettell creates a vivid, "virtual" museum through which to appreciate the genius and enduring accomplishments of the Impressionists: the men and women who, in but a few short decades, forever changed the art of painting.
Who Were the Impressionists?
They appeared in a period of upheaval. They saw the rebuilding of Paris, the rise of industrialism, the ruin of the Franco-Prussian war.
They displayed their works—paintings that were startlingly, even shockingly, new—in a series of exhibitions from 1874 to 1886.
And by the 1890s this "loose coalition" of artists who rebelled against the formality of the French Academy had created the most famous artistic movement in history. "They" were the Impressionists, and Professor Brettell is your expert curator and guide to a movement that created a new, intensely personal vision of the world.
