During the 1860s, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste
Renoir, and Alfred Sisley joined forces to revolutionize art with
light- flooded landscapes that dispensed with the conventional
imagery of the time. In 1874, with their penchant for working out
of doors in order to capture fleeting sensory impressions directly
on the canvas, they came to be known as the "Impressionists."
Berthe Morisot, Paul Cezanne, and Gustave Caillebotte became
affiliated with the new tendency as well. More than a decade later,
artists such as Paul Signac and Henri-Edmond Cross developed their
pioneering ideas further, and in 1901, during his first year in
Paris, the young Pablo Picasso too drew inspiration from the
Impressionist style. No comparable collection provides such a
comprehensive overview of Impressionist landscape painting and its
development as the one assembled in recent decades by Hasso
Plattner, founder of the Museum Barberini. On its basis, Ortrud
Westheider, the director of the Museum Barberini, presents the
history of French Impressionism. With its focus on the transitory
moment, the artistry of the Impressionists continues to exert a
powerful fascination. Guided by the interplay between light and
atmosphere, they created exquisite and timeless images whose
innovative spirit and vitality continue to delight viewers today.
