From Manet to Van Gogh — the most humane painting

The history of Impressionism spans only twelve years: from the first exhibition in 1874, where the famous Impression was presented, to the last, eighth, in 1886. Édouard Manet and Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Paul Gauguin – these artists sought to convey to the viewer the impression, the beauty of everyday reality, and capture what the eye sees at a specific moment, but it turned out that their creativity influenced all subsequent art and gifted the world Van Gogh. This illustrated publication includes lectures by Paola Dmitrievna Volkova, the author of the famous series Bridge over the Abyss, dedicated to the Belle Époque.
