Amid vibrant light and dazzling colors, this tour will show you how the Impressionists challenged the conventions of painting to give rise to a new, free and modern art form.
In the late 19th century, a group of young painters dared to defy the rules established by the Academy of Fine Arts. Rejected by the official salons, they chose to exhibit their works in other ways and invented a new pictorial language. But why did their painting, so admired today, cause such a scandal at the time?
Through iconic masterpieces, explore the birth of Impressionism, its rejection by the institutions and its gradual triumph. From luminous portraits to scenes of Parisian life and landscapes capturing the moment, immerse yourself in this artistic adventure that transformed painting forever.
