Where were Monet's famous "haystacks" located? Which position did
he choose to paint the villas of Bordighera? Where was Alfred
Sisley on the "Winter Morning" in 1874? And what does it look like
there today? From 2016 onwards, photographer Christoph Irrgang
traveled to the areas and places where Monet and other
Impressionists painted. He researched and photographed the places
where numerous works were created from the painters' perspective.
The juxtaposition of the paintings with photographs from today
reveal industrialization, modernization and urban development over
the past 150 years, but also astonishing similarities. The
photographs also provide a new and unique approach to the
Impressionist paintings. You can see the authentic places that were
in front of the painters more than a hundred years ago, and you can
see the change that has happened since then. Photography and
painting can be compared directly, and the interplay of eye and
brush can be traced. However, the world-famous masterpieces also
give their places a certain aura, and it is fascinating to see this
magic flow into the reality of the present. The book is published
on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the Museum Barberini in
Potsdam, which has become one of the most dynamic, fascinating and
important institutions for Impressionist art.
