Camaret, marÉe basse dans la rade by Eugène Boudin
Eugène Boudin may not be one of the most
well-known European artists, but his legacy
inspired many of the great artists that followed,
namely Claude Monet.
One of the first European landscape painters,
Boudin focused on painting the sea and other
maritime subjects. Fellow landscape painter
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot referred to Boudin as
the King of the skies.

Portrait of Paul CÉzanne by Camille Pissaro

• Pissaro was one of the most important influences
  on late 19th century and early 20th century art.
  He began his career as a member of the
  Impressionist school and was the only artist to
  have his work displayed at all eight Paris
  Impressionist Exhibitions in the late 1800s. In
  his later works, he also dabbled in what would
  become known as post-Impressionism and served as
  a father figure to the major artists of that
  latter movement such as Paul Cezanne, the subject
  of this portrait.

Portrait of Édouard Manet by Carolus-Duran

• Carolus-Duran, real name Charles Auguste Émile
  Durand, made his name as a portrait artist whose
  stylish and vivid paintings recreated high
  society life in Frances Third Republic. Perhaps
  more importantly, he was also one of the most
  sought-after art instructors of his day and
  taught many of the most talented young painters
  of the time how to hone their skills.

Le Bassin aux Nymphéas, harmonie verte by Claude
Monet

• Impressionism transformed European art in the
  late 19th century, and Claude Monet was the
  movements shining light. His iconic and distinct
  renderings captured natural landscapes and people
  engaged in leisure activities in a way that was
  groundbreaking at the time, and his philosophy of
  using paint and canvas to recreate the experience
  of perceiving nature was a forerunner to 20th
  century Modernism.

La Grenouillère by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Like Pissaro and Monet, Renoir was a member of
the Impressionist school of art. His paintings
were noted for being especially vibrant and
lively, and for the way they

• portrayed the human form. Along with Monet,
  Pissaro, and other Impressionists, Renoir helped
  launch the Impressionist exhibits that took the
  art world by storm after the traditional art
  schools of the day rejected his and his
  compatriots work.
