The revolutionary painters who broke every rule. This exhibition brings together masterworks by Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Pissarro, and Sisley — the artists who transformed how we see color, light, and the everyday world.
In the 1860s, a group of young painters in Paris began working in ways that scandalized the art establishment. They painted outdoors, capturing fleeting effects of light. They used bold, unblended brushstrokes. They chose subjects from modern life — cafes, train stations, dance classes — over the historical and mythological scenes prized by the Academy.
This exhibition traces the Impressionist revolution through its greatest works. Van Gogh's blazing Irises and Wheat Fields. Degas' intimate Dance Class. Cezanne's monumental Card Players. Pissarro's luminous boulevards and country roads.
Together, these paintings tell the story of art's most radical transformation — and the birth of the modern way of seeing.
