Program Description

Event Details

Impressionism – today one of the world’s favorite styles of art – was a radical new way of looking at the world in the 1870s.  In the early years of the movement, artists like Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Pierre August Renoir and Gustave Caillebotte often set their easels up right next to each other and painted the same scenes … but each with their own twist.  

The beautiful stretch of the River Seine near Argenteuil was the magnet that drew artists to live, visit and paint the area.
