He was fascinated by the present in the growing French capital rather than focusing on the old masters. In a series of three paintings, he created a new pictorial topic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Monet's cityscapes of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the Jardin de l'Infante, and the Quai du Louvre are considered to be the earliest Impressionist city views. In them, he casts a completely new artistic eye over the modern metropolis being rebuilt by Haussmann. By doing so, he also inspired artists like Caillebotte and Pissarro to create their own cityscapes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonet and the Impressionist Cityscape \u003c\/i\u003ereveals a new subject born, in all its beauty, through the example of Monet's three principal works, as well as others by famous Impressionist and Postimpressionist artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRalph Gleis\u003c\/b\u003e will be the general director of the Albertina in Vienna beginning in 2025 and was the director of the Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin. \u003cb\u003eJosephine Hein\u003c\/b\u003e is a research associate at the Alte Nationalgalerie.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51276794200338,"sku":"9783777444048","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2b521bf5-bb10-4d8d-a139-6228774f74ba.jpg?v=1747139311","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/monet-and-the-impressionist-cityscape-9783777444048","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
