Impressionism - 1000 Masterworks

1000 Masterpieces From the Great Museums of the World is one of the most successful TV series about art. The original, with improved image quality, takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of art. Comprehensively illustrated and compellingly presented - the well-known authors of five short art surveys provide a deeper insight into the masterpieces of painting. In 1874, a group of artists nicknamed the Impressionists scandalized Paris with its first exhibition. The spirit of these young en plein air painters, who declared that the essence of their art was about capturing the impression of the moment in the colorful play of light, was too revolutionary. Cassatt, Callebotte, Libermann, Kreyer and Edelfelt represented a worldwide revolt that ushered in modernism by breaking with conventional ways of seeing the world.
