[Tim Nason · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 ⭐️ Excellent introduction and overview, very readable; great use of pictures to show techniques and how they changed over time. Historical context woven throughout. Details the differences between the most ardent Impressionists Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley, and how their efforts were distinct from Manet, Degas, Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin. Very brief reference to the predecessor Barbizon landscape artists, and to Delacroix, Corot and Courbet, with a few notes at the end about Impressionism’s impact or lack thereof in England, Germany, Spain, Italy and America.
