Overview of your Paris tour:

Join me whilst we explore the home of the largest collection of Impressionist artworks in the world. This tour will offer insights into the creative explosion that took place in Paris in the 19th Century, giving social context to the artistic and cultural movements that arose during this time. We will explore the theme of the art controversy through the contrasting of Academic Painting, with styles that developed during the 19th Century such as Impressionism, Fauvism, Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism. As we explore the museum, I will explain the contributing factors to the outburst of creativity that would occur during this time, and how this led to an explosion within the art world. We will examine the works of art visionaries such as Realist painter Manet; explore the beginnings and continuations of Impressionism with Monet and his friends Renoir, Degas, Caillebotte and more; and finish up with an array of colours from the Pointillism and Post-Impressionists such as Seurat and Van Gogh.
