Nel XIX secolo, la Senna, con le sue luci, le sue sponde, i pontili e i porti, è stata soggetto privilegiato per numerosi artisti. Furono soprattutto gli impressionisti e i loro emulatori, sempre attenti al momento contemporaneo, a farne il proprio soggetto privilegiato. Dall'alba al tramonto, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Gustave Caillebotte e Armand Guillaumin non si stancarono mai di osservare il gioco di riflessi sulla superficie dell'acqua. La Senna non mancò di incantare Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro e Berthe Morisot. Con i suoi ponti di ferro, i suoi grandi porti, il dinamismo industriale, e le barche, i battelli, e i turisti nei loro vestiti bianchi, la Senna era allora il cuore della modernità. Una selezione di circa cinquanta opere traccia il cammino dell'evoluzione dell'Impressionismo, e ci porta in un viaggio lungo il fiume, da Parigi a Le Havre.

Throughout the nineteenth century, artists painted the Seine, its light, its banks, its bridges and its ports. Above all, however, it was the impressionists and their emulators, careful observers of modern life, who made it their favorite subject. From dawn to dusk, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Gustave Caillebotte and Armand Guillaumin never grew weary of observing the play of reflections on the surface of the water. Often the Seine also enchanted Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro and Berthe Morisot.
Many artists lived or stayed regularly along the banks of the river, finding in it their main source of inspiration. For the landscape of the Seine was evolving under the combined effect of industrialization and the advent of leisure. With its iron bridges, its great ports, its industrial dynamism, and also its boats, its yachts and its strolling visitors in their white dresses, the Seine was the heart of modernity.
A selection of around fifty paintings traces the evolution of Impressionism and takes us on a journey along the river, from Paris to Le Havre, passing through Argenteuil, Vétheuil and Giverny.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Stretching from Paris to Le Havre, the Seine river and the valley flanking it afford some of France's loveliest views. The ports, holiday homes and artists' houses, the boats, the washerwomen, the windmills, the open-air cafes, the picnics and the bathing supplied French painting with some of its most iconic images, particularly during the Impressionist era, when painting stepped out of the studio and into the world. It was in this period, as the industrial revolution began to get underway and the landscape began to alter accordingly, through the development of railways, ports and factories, that the rural world it threatened became an increasingly popular subject for painting. This volume brings together 60 paintings painted on the banks of the Seine, retracing the history of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to Fauvism, from Eugene Boudin to Henri Matisse. En route we encounter such familiar figures as Manet, Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, Sisley and Caillebotte, but also lesser-known figures such as Armand Guillaumin, Henri Rouart and Maximilien Luce.
