Impressionism


In Vienna we went to an Impressionism exhibition at the Albertina museum. Represented artists include Courbet, Caillebotte, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Pissarro, Signac and van Gogh among others. These were some of my favorites.

Albert Besnard (French, 1849-1934). A Meadow in the Park in Calais, 1890. Oil on canvas.


Claude Emile Schuffenecker (French, 1851-1934). Notre Dame in the Snow, 1889. Oil on canvas.


Édouard Manet (French, 1832-1883). Bunch of Asparagus, 1880. Oil on canvas.


Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Woman with a Parasol in a Garden, 1875-76. Oil on canvas.


Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). On the Banks of the Seine at Rueil, 1879. Oil on poplar wood.

Impressionism is my favorite art form. I love that its subjects are often bathed in sunlight or obscured by snow, just like my European vacation. Paris is next!
