A DAY IN PARIS

IMPRESSIONISM, MANET, CAILLEBOTTE & RENOIR

Impressionism, a late 19th-century French art movement, emphasizes the sensory expression of momentary changes in light and color. Artists depicted scenes not with precise realism but by capturing the effects of light and color in an emotional and experiential way. They used harmonious blends of color to depict landscapes, figures, and still life. Prominent artists of this movement include Édouard Manet, Gustave Caillebotte, and Auguste Renoir.

PARIS & THE HAUSSMANN STYLE, MONTMARTRE, THE RIVER SEINE

Paris, France, is a city shaped by the 19th-century "Haussmannization" project, bearing a resemblance between its modern and historical aspects. The bourgeoisie, often depicted by Impressionist painters, resided in Haussmann-style buildings, some of them engaging in social gatherings at Montmartre Park, cafés, and salons. Paris's landscape, reconstructed as a stage for artists, is showcased, with the River Seine at its center.
