Inhaltsangabe

Late 19th-century Paris was the center and the inspiration for the artists of the Impressionist movement. Now Julian More invites readers to discover it for themselves in Impressionist Paris. More explores each area of Paris in turn, relating the history and appearance of places where the Impressionists lived and worked. He not only guides the visitor to their houses and studios, their favorite cafes and restaurants, but he also points out many of the scenes they painted. In the company of this informed and genial guide, one can stroll through the Montmartre of Renoir and Lautrec, the Argenteuil of Monet, and the Batignolles of Degas, Manet, and Czanne. In each chapter, More includes itineraries for excursions on foot or by car, as well as information on sites, museums, and tourist offices, and recommendations for places to eat and stay. Beautifully illustrated with paintings, photographs, and maps, Impressionist Paris offers an enchanting perspective on the City of Light.
