Stretching from Paris to Le Havre, the Seine river and the valley
flanking it afford some of France's loveliest views. The ports,
holiday homes and artists' houses, the boats, the washerwomen, the
windmills, the open-air cafes, the picnics and the bathing supplied
French painting with some of its most iconic images, particularly
during the Impressionist era, when painting stepped out of the
studio and into the world. It was in this period, as the industrial
revolution began to get underway and the landscape began to alter
accordingly, through the development of railways, ports and
factories, that the rural world it threatened became an
increasingly popular subject for painting. This volume brings
together 60 paintings painted on the banks of the Seine, retracing
the history of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to Fauvism,
from Eugene Boudin to Henri Matisse. En route we encounter such
familiar figures as Manet, Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, Sisley and
Caillebotte, but also lesser-known figures such as Armand
Guillaumin, Henri Rouart and Maximilien Luce.
