Impressionism is an artistic movement that wants to be realistic in life's
illustration caught "in the instant". This "pictorial school" evolved in
France as in Europe, between 1874 and 1886. At its birth, this new technique was heavily criticised even though it is now invading all of our museums, and the creators or the followers of that movement are now being recognised as painting geniuses. Idealists, the impressionists wished to immortalise the eternal essence of things by utilising "pure colours", capturing with their brushes what they thought was, based on their vision, the "real truth" of what they saw. They brought us "light" and the image of modern life. |

Portraits, objects, countryside, still life, everyday life scenes, water and air, are the real representation of the essential elements for a happy life. Who are the artists? You already know of them: Monet, Manet, Renoir, Cezanne, Matisse, Sisley, Van Gogh, Degas, Pissaro…and so many more who were inspired by this "movement", such as Seurat & Signac and who in fact were the creators of the neo-impressionism movement, with always in mind the description of life's evolution in an industrial world, translated by modernism. | |
| Where can their masterpieces be seen? With Movingparis.com you will discover the artists and their work essentially in The Louvre Museum, and in the d'Orsay Museum, as well as in Giverny, in visiting the Seine Valley, in the Ambleville gardens... but you will also feel their soul while strolling around Montmartre and Montparnasse. | ||
