He was fascinated by the present in the growing French capital rather than the old masters. In a series of three paintings, he created a new pictorial topic. The important works from Berlin, Den Haag, and Oberlin come together in exhibitions and this lavishly illustrated book.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMonet and the Impressionist Cityscape\u003c\/em\u003e explores Monet's cityscapes of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the Jardin de l'Infante, and the Quai du Louvre, considered to be the earliest Impressionist city views. In these works, 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. A new subject was born, which the publication reveals in all its beauty through the example of Monet's three principal works, as well as others by famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtists featured include Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte, Johan Barthold Jongkind, Maximilien Luce, Henri Matisse, and Camille Pissarro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340930793708,"sku":"9783777444048","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26230203483532.jpg?v=1772177689","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/monet-and-the-impressionist-cityscape-9783777444048","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
