«Great Masters of Impressionism»

The most complete story about what Impressionism is, including not only biographies and characteristics of artists but also an exploration of the emergence and existence of this group of masters. The author depicts the atmosphere of the artistic life of the late 19th century and how economic and social factors contributed to the development of this movement.

It may seem strange that what today seems like academic classic shocked in the late 19th century - «what, to paint not great battles or mythological scenes, but some peasants snoring at the roadside?!» By the time Impressionism was accepted, artists had to endure the attacks of the public, the press, and even colleagues in the profession.
