In 1867, Claude Monet painted three iconic cityscapes of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre, marking the start of Impressionism. In addition to a detailed discussion of these three extraordinary works, this book also features numerous other Impressionist paintings and drawings.
Experts from leading museums around the world show how Paul Cézanne, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt and many others also portray a magnificent Paris in full transformation. Their works of art take us back to the birth of the French capital as a modern metropolis. They lead us past brand-new theatres, newly laid out parks and wide boulevards designed by Baron Haussmann, where the bourgeoisie strolls through the streets. Fashion and consumption dominate the lives of the bourgeoisie and the graceful Parisienne sets the tone for the image of the vibrant world city. But behind the façade of light, beauty and romance, discontent, political unrest and revolution are in the air. Original photographs, posters, letters and cartoons bring the turbulent spirit of the times back to life in this publication.
