Deutscher Text weiter unten Magnificent publication on the depiction of Paris by the French impressionists such as Monet, Cassatt, Renoir and Degas. In 1867, Claude Monet painted three iconic views of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre, thus firing the starting shot of Impressionism. This book explores these groundbreaking works in detail, alongside a multitude of other Impressionist paintings and drawings. Experts from leading museums around the world show how Paul Cézanne, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt and many others also depicted Paris in the midst of a radical transformation. Their artworks transport us to the birth of the French capital as a modern metropolis.

In a new world dominated by fashion and consumption, the graceful Parisienne emerges as the symbol of this vibrant world city. But behind the facade of light, beauty and romance, political unrest and revolution are in the air. This turbulent period is brought to life in this publication through original photographs, posters, letters and satirical prints.

Prachtvolle Publikation über die Darstellung von Paris durch die französischen Impressionisten wie Monet, Cassatt, Renoir und Degas. Im Jahr 1867 malte Claude Monet drei ikonische Ansichten von Paris vom Balkon des Louvre aus und gab damit den Startschuss für den Impressionismus. In diesem Buch werden diese bahnbrechenden Werke zusammen mit einer Vielzahl anderer impressionistischer Gemälde und Zeichnungen im Detail vorgestellt. Experten führender Museen der Welt zeigen, wie auch Paul Cézanne, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt und viele Andere Paris inmitten eines radikalen Wandels darstellten. Ihre Kunstwerke entführen uns in die Geburtsstunde der französischen Hauptstadt als moderne Metropole. Sie gewähren uns Zutritt zu den Theatern, Parks und Boulevards des Paris von Haussmann, wo die Bourgeoisie ihren neuen Reichtum zur Schau stellt. In einer neuen, von Mode und Konsum dominierten Welt wird die anmutige Pariserin zum Symbol dieser pulsierenden Weltstadt. Doch hinter der Fassade aus Licht, Schönheit und Romantik liegen politische Unruhen und Revolutionen in der Luft. Diese turbulente Zeit wird in der Publikation durch Originalfotografien, Plakate, Briefe und satirische Drucke zum Leben erweckt. Diese Publikation erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung New Paris: Von Monet bis Morisot im Kunstmuseum Den Haag vom 15. Februar bis 9. Juni 2025.
