The pinnacle of Impressionist art: This beautifully illustrated volume brings together the key cityscapes and natural landscapes as well as the lake and river landscapes by the most important Impressionists. It shines a spotlight on Claude Monet's water-lily paintings, which were created in his legendary garden at Giverny.
This publication juxtaposes the work of the most famous Impressionists, from Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir to Paul Gauguin. Edgar Degas, who is often considered to have been an Impressionist because he exhibited his work alongside theirs, is also represented. Some of the cityscapes refl ect the hustle and bustle of Paris while atmospheric landscapes invite viewers to fall into reveries. The publication illustrates not only the key works by these famous artists, but also the oeuvres of the trailblazers of this so-called en plein-air painting, Camille Corot and Gustave Courbet as well as Eugène Boudin and others. The famous haystacks series created by Claude Monet and his breath-taking water lilies paintings in Giverny are the publication's greatest highlight.
