Comme les naturalistes, les impressionnistes plantent leur chevalet hors de l'atelier, investissant les rues de Paris, la forêt de Fontainebleau, la côte normande, les villages de la vallée de l'Oise ou les bords de Seine. L'auteur dresse une topographie de l'impressionnisme illustrée d'oeuvres et d'une sélection de photographies historiques, revenant sur les lieux et atmosphères du mouvement. ©Electre 2026

Quatrième de couverture

More than other painters, the Impressionists wanted to shake off the dust of the studio, and swarmed the noisy streets of Paris, filling the cafés and living in garrets and humble little dwellings on the hill of Montmartre, which still seemed like the countryside at the time, its slopes covered with vineyards and vegetable gardens. Nor did they limit themselves to the city, planting their easels in the clearings of the forest of Fontainebleau, on the coast of Normandy, in the rustic villages in the Oise Valley and in Bougival and Argenteuil on the banks of the Seine. Like their Naturalist friends Zola and Maupassant, they liked to mix with the locals so they could experience the places directly, painting everywhere, even on a boat, like the one where Monet had his floating studio.

This book maps out a topography of Impressionism, illustrated with paintings by its artists and a rich selection of historical photographs, going back to the places and atmospheres of an extraordinary artistic movement to capture all its fascination.
