New Visions: Paris And Impressionism

Presented by Joanne Rhymer

During Napoleon III’s reign (1852-1870), the Paris landscape was transformed by the construction of wide boulevards, elegant buildings and parks. Theatres, cafes and entertainment venues flourished, offering spaces for sociability and artistic exchange and inspiring impressionist artists keen to capture the fleeting sensations of the modern capital. This lecture will examine works by Manet, Renoir and Caillebotte to discover how their radical techniques reflect the attractions and complexities of modern Parisian society.
