The last quarter of the 19th century saw Naturalism become one of the dominant movements in painting. This photographic style of painting transcended national borders, and fanned out throughout all of Europe and the United States. The themes were drawn from daily 'modern' life: labourers, farmers, the affluent middle classes; all layers of society served as subjects. This collection sheds light on the various aspects of Naturalism: its themes, painting practice and the response of critics and the public.

When the modern city was born with the radical restructuring of Paris in the 1850's, it found its first interpreters in the group of young artists who were later to bear the name Impressionists: Manet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, Monet, Sisley and others. The painters of the city and the modern life that flourished in its brand new public spaces and its close environs are the theme of this exhibition. Every one who loves impressionism would like this book.

The extraordinary outburst of artistic energy that occurred in Denmark between 1790 and 1910 has rarely been rivaled. Within three generations of the founding of its Royal Academy, Danish painters developed a national school of art that challenged the artistic centers of France, Germany, and Britain. The range of outstanding works created by Nicolai Abildgaard, Jens Juel, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Christian Købke, P.S. Krøyer, and Vilhelm Hammershøi reflect and refract in unique and compelling ways the great stylistic tendencies of European art of the nineteenth century, including Classicism, Romanticism, Impressionism, and Symbolism. Yet surprisingly, there have been few studies of this vital school of art. That deficit is now corrected with the publication of this landmark study of Danish art.

Willsdon explores the Impressionists’ fascination with gardens, parks, and flowers in the context of the contemporary preoccupation with horticulture and the changing political and cultural landscape. Drawing on many sources, including novels by Zola and Flaubert, gardening journals, poetry by Baudelaire, and the artists’ personal letters, Clare Willsdon shows how gardens were central to the Impressionists’ discovery of their distinctive plein-air (out of doors) style, profoundly influenced by the wealth of garden subjects which were at the same time both “modern” and imbued with nostalgia. Willsdon also brings to life the tradition of floral symbolism in 19th century France, and explains - for the first time - how this infiltrated the work of key impressionists such as Monet, P.S. Krøyer et al.
