Monet and the Impressionist Cityscape
A beautiful look at Claude Monets cityscape paintings of Paris.
In 1867, Monet (18401925) turned his back on tradition when he focused on the bustling life of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre. He was fascinated by the present in the growing French capital rather than focusing on the old masters. In a series of three paintings, he created a new pictorial topic.
Monets cityscapes of Saint-Germain-lAuxerrois, the Jardin de lInfante, and the Quai du Louvre are considered to be the earliest Impressionist city views. In them, he casts a completely new artistic eye over the modern metropolis being rebuilt by Haussmann. By doing so, he also inspired artists like Caillebotte and Pissarro to create their own cityscapes.
Monet and the Impressionist Cityscape reveals a new subject born, in all its beauty, through the example of Monets three principal works, as well as others by famous Impressionist and Postimpressionist artists.
