LECTURE :: THE SEINE ESTURARY – BIRTHPLACE OF IMPRESSIONISM
19 November 2018 @ 10:00 am - 11:59 pm
The lecture:
The Seine Estuary: Capturing the Nineteenth Century imagination –
birthplace of Impressionism
This lecture will look at the host of artists who flocked to the picturesque harbour of
Honfleur, France and its surroundings in the late 19th century.
It is about the birthplace of Impressionism and the influences on young artists such as Turner
and others who were later to become the Impressionists:
Boudin, Courbet, Jongkind, Daubigny, and then Monet, Bazille, Pissarro, Manet and Degas.
They painted seascapes as well as the new fashionable seaside resorts of Trouville and Deauville.
The lecturer: Carole Petipher is a guide and lecturer on combined history/art tours in France, with over ten years’ experience.
Life aboard river vessels on the Seine, Oise, Marne and Rhone offered the chance
to explore and further research on certain riverside locations linked to these artists.
