Welcome to my guided tour of the Musée d'Orsay, where we will embark on a captivating journey through the revolutionary art movement of Impressionism. As we step into the majestic Beaux-Arts railway station turned museum, prepare to be transported back to 19th-century France, a time of artistic innovation and cultural transformation. I will lead us through the museum's renowned collection of Academicism, Realism and of Impressionist masterpieces, looking at the evolution on art in few footsteps. Impressionism marked a radical departure from the conventions of Academicism and Realism. Emerging in the late 19th century, Impressionism was characterized by its rejection of traditional academic techniques and its embrace of innovative approaches to color, light, and brushwork. Showcasing the works of iconic artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and Édouard Manet. Through their vibrant brushstrokes and luminous colors, these artists captured the essence of modern life.
