« What I will do is the impression of what I have felt.»
Claude Monet

Famous and recognized throughout the world, Impressionist painting still fascinates. How did this major artistic movement in the history of art come about? Why was his image originally associated with the scandal? What method did these precursors of modern art prefer? What technique did they invent and what were their favourite themes?

From Monet to Renoir, via Manet and Degas, follow the path taken by these masters of landscape art, who left their studios to paint en plein air and took over the city to deliver a unique representation. Discover how they captured the light, painted the moment and thus restored a universe of sensations.

Richly illustrated, this beautiful album reveals the historical and exciting journey of the figures of this pictorial movement that upset and shook the art of the nineteenth century in France and abroad, and gives all the skies to understand it.
