New Visions: Paris and Impressionism
Presented by Joanne Rhymer. During Napoleon III’s reign, Paris underwent an extraordinary transformation. Medieval neighbourhoods were cleared making way for wide boulevards, elegant apartment blocks, parks, and monumental public buildings that reshaped the landscape and social fabric. Theatres, cafés, and entertainment venues flourished. The dynamics inspired the Impressionists, who were keen to capture the fleeting sensations of the modern capital. By examining works by artists including Manet, Renoir, and Caillebotte, we will discover how their radical techniques reflect the attractions and complexities of modern Parisian society.
Since completing an MA at University College London in the History of Art, Joanne Rhymer’s areas of specialism include 19th-century and early 20th-century French art, and her interests include the visual skills involved in the sustained viewing of paintings.
