Colours of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Museée d'Orsay
This exhibition tells the story of Impressionism through the colours that painters used at different stages in their careers. Taking visitors from the deep blacks of Manet's Spanish-influenced paintings, to the green and blue landscapes of Cézanne and Monet, and the soft pinks of Renoir's classical female figures, it traces the importance of colour to the Impressionists' radical reshaping of painting in the 19th century. Colours of Impressionism features over 60 masterpieces from the renowned collection of the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, including key works by Monet, Renoir, Manet, and Cézanne.Additional activities and further information
