Introduction

P

aris 1862: A group of young painters who were fascinated by light and eager to affirm their artistic freedom met in Paris, and Impressionism was born. Among them was Claude Monet, aged 22, who had left his family in Normandy to learn his art from the grand masters of the Paris academies. Monet’s childhood was far from studious, but his caricatures were appreciated by a local art dealer in Le Havre and they sold relatively well, building Monet a minor reputation. The trade in his work brought him into contact with the painter, Eugène Boudin, who initiated him in outdoor painting and encouraged him to defy his family’s wishes in order to pursue a career as a painter.

After a first Parisian sojourn in 1859, Monet fulfilled two years of military service in Algeria, before returning to Paris to study under Charles Gleyre at the Beaux-Arts.

At Gleyre’s workshop, Claude Monet struck up a friendship with Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and the young Frédéric Bazille (who died in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War). Monet was deterred by his tutor’s rigid method and unreceptive to the school’s academic style inspired by Antiquity, and after several months decided to leave the workshop, convincing his companions to follow suit, much to their master’s distaste: “I expect you want to paint for fun?” the tutor asked his student who replied, “Of course. If it didn’t, believe me, I wouldn’t bother.”

The four friends left for the open air, setting their easels in the forest of Fontainebleau, Normandy and on the banks of the Seine. From their shared experience emerged a new vision of painting which sought to capture variations of light and atmosphere in the moment. The jury of the capital’s annual art fair, the Salon, which was dominated by academic

Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) produced meticulous landscapes and country scenes in Louveciennes, Pontoise and Eragny. From 1865 to 1885, he shared a very close friendship with Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) who soon left Impressionism to follow his own personal, innovative path. Towards the end of his career, as the oldest member of the Impressionists, Pissarro was considered to be something of a patriarch. His art never ceased to evolve however and he developed an interest in the Neo-Impressionism of Seurat and Signac, even adopting pointillism for a while, a stance that was frowned upon by his pioneering companions. Late in life, he returned to his initial style and had the satisfaction of seeing a number of his scenes of Paris finally appreciated. (Avenue de l’Opéra, Le Jardin des Tuileries).

The sole female artist of the group (alongside the American Mary Cassatt), Berthe Morisot (1841–1895) painted delicate scenes of young ladies from affluent families, from which Morisot herself originated. After painting her sisters and their children (The Cradle), she produced a long series of portraits of her own daughter, Julie, born in 1878 from her marriage with Eugène Manet, brother of the painter Édouard Manet.

Between 1874 and 1886 eight Impressionist exhibitions were held in Paris. Throughout the years, the group lost cohesion and dissention broke out, especially when Pissarro expressed support for the Neo-impressionists whose pointillist technique, to Renoir and Monet, lost the spontaneity of the Impressionist touch. The members of the group who lived the longest (Renoir and Monet) were financially comfortable and met with fortune when Impressionism was finally acknowledged.
