New Visions: Paris and Impressionism
About
During Napoleon III’s reign (1852–1870), Paris underwent an extraordinary transformation under Baron Haussmann’s direction. Several medieval neighbourhoods were cleared making way for wide boulevards, elegant apartment blocks, parks, and monumental public buildings that reshaped the city’s landscape and social fabric. Theatres, cafés and entertainment venuesflourished, offering spaces for sociability, and artistic exchange. This dynamic environment inspired the Impressionists, who were keen to capture the fleetingsensations of the modern capital. By examining key works by artists including Manet, Renoir, and Caillebotte, we will discover how their radical techniques reflect the attractions and complexities of modern Parisian societyDate
