Presenting Impressionist works by artists including Manet, Monet, Degas, Bazille, Cassatt, and C騷anne alongside those of Raphael, El Greco, Rubens, Vel痙quez, and others, the book shows that while the Impressionists moved toward modernity and spontaneity, they remained conscious of and interested in the traditions, techniques, and subject matter of their predecessors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssays by leading scholars reveal the ways Impressionists drew inspiration from earlier artists from periods ranging from the Italian Renaissance through the early 19th-century Classical and Romantic traditions. A detailed chronology and fascinating comparisons of landscapes, portraits, nudes, still lifes, and genre paintings provide readers with new opportunities to understand the work of both the Impressionists and Old Masters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Denver Art Museum \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh Museum of Art, Atlanta (October 13, 2007 - January 13, 2008)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Denver Art Museum (February 23 - May 25, 2008) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeattle Art Museum (June 19 - September 21, 2008)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xavier Bray, Michael Clarke, John Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300131321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300131321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Denver Art Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 11.21w x 1.01d","brand":"Xavier Bray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913593782527,"sku":"9780300131321","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f7654dee-5b2b-4f18-b030-d81b8ba176f3.jpg?v=1680621254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inspiring-impressionism-xavier-bray-9780300131321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
