A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Throughout the nineteenth century, artists painted the Seine, its light, its banks, its bridges and its ports. Above ail, however, it was the impressionists and their emulators, careful observers of modern life, who made it their favorite subject. From dawn to dusk, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Gustave Caillebotte and Armand Guillaumin never grew weary of observing the play of reflections on the surface of the water. Often the Seine also enchanted Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro and Berthe Morisot. Many artists lived or stayed regularly along the banks of the river, finding in it their main source of inspiration. For the landscape of the Seine was evolving under the combined effect of industrialization and the advent of leisure. With its iron bridges, its great ports, its industrial dynamism, and also its boats, its yachts and its strolling visitors in their white dresses, the Seine was the heart of modernity. A selection of around fifty paintings traces the evolution of Impressionism and takes us on a journey along the river, from Paris to Le Havre, passing through Argenteuil, Vétheuil and Giverny.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Nel XIX secolo, la Senna, con le sue luci, le sue sponde, i pontili e i porti, è stata soggetto privilegiato per numerosi artisti. Furono soprattutto gli impressionisti e i loro emulatori, sempre attenti al momento contemporaneo, a farne il proprio soggetto privilegiato. Dall'alba al tramonto, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Gustave Caillebotte e Armand Guillaumin non si stancarono mai di osservare il gioco di riflessi sulla superficie dell'acqua. La Senna non mancò di incantare Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro e Berthe Morisot. Con i suoi ponti di ferro, i suoi grandi porti, il dinamismo industriale, e le barche, i battelli, e i turisti nei loro vestiti bianchi, la Senna era allora il cuore della modernità. Una selezione di circa cinquanta opere traccia il cammino dell'evoluzione dell'Impressionismo, e ci porta in un viaggio lungo il fiume, da Parigi a Le Havre.
