Impressionism 1860-1910 - Kristina Menzel

In the 1860s, a style of painting emerged in Paris which fundamentally called into question the artistic concepts that had been prevalent in academies up to that time. Impressionist artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas now focused on their impression of the moment, which was captured in paintings depicting moods and light at certain times of the day and of the season, as well as in snapshots of modern life. This new kind of artistic worldview spread to other countries in Europe and the USA, which in turn produced numerous Impressionist painters. With more than 450 works, Impressionism presents an overview of the most important Impressionist paintings.
