Dawn of Impressionism, Paris 1874

I had no idea the name came from that wonderful painting. Thanks escaped. I'll seek out the film.

Thank you very much for featuring this film .
I'd love to see it .

But I have to express that I hope that it pays some tribute to Turner as perhaps the true father of impressionism and not Pissarro !

I see that the film is available on Netflix. I am struggling to find cinema showing anywhere near where I live as I would prefer to see it on a big screen. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.

While we are on the subject, I recommend 'Loving Vincent' which is an innovative film where the pictures of post impressionist Vincent van Gogh come to life.

We went to Paris a few years ago and I’ll be forever grateful to the woman who my partner got chatting to at the building society who told him that we should visit the Musee d’Orsay and not the Louvre. I was so moved to see some of my favourite paintings, especially my all time favourite, La Pie.

When we were camping in France, I tried, but failed to rescue a poor magpie which was being attacked by other magpies. They killed it.

Yes, I believe La Pie was one of those works rejected by the Paris Salon.

Yes, I believe La Pie was one of those works rejected by the Paris Salon.

The light on the snow in La Pie is absolutely exquisite..

Thankyou for information about the film..

My favourite is The Cradle by one of the very few female Impressionists, Berthe Morisot. It's something about that whispy faint voile across the crib and the baby's face.

I love 'The Cradle' by Berthe Morisot. I have a book of paintings by Berthe Morisot and the American painter Mary Cassatt. Both were seen as impressionists although their style of painting was not similar to each other.

I agree that Musee d'Orsay is well worth a visit but so is the Louvre and the Pompidou Centre (Modern Art) if it is still open.

I too wished to watch this but it is showing only for one night at a cinema 14 miles from me.

Unfortunately due to childcare duties I will not be able to go.

I have attempted to find other showings but to no avail.

I can’t find it on Netflix. What is the film again please?

Dawn of Impressionism. It may not be on there yet J&J.

In 2023 there was a wonderful Berth Morisot exhibition at the Dulwich Gallery. Exquisite paintings which took my breath away.

This is one of my favourite paintings. She’s in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle.

Thank you for the tip I will look out for that. I love the Impressionists.

Esmay - I always think the same about Turner. There was an interesting exhibition at the National Gallery years ago about the impressionists, where they talked about the technical innovations that made the movement possible - when was the invention of tubes for paint. This meant that artists much more easily paint outdoors and paint became portable. But also very important was the invention of a new shade of yellow, which was really important to the colours/light that was key to a lot of impressionist painting.

Sorry - should say one was the invention of tubes for paint….(I never can get used to not being able to edit comments on gransnet.)

I went to an exhibition at the Ashmolean a few years ago, they stated clearly that Pissarro was the father of Impressionism.

If you like Monet, the Orangerie and Musee Marmottan (near chaillot) are wonderful.
I’m very fond of Berthe Morisot too. She was Monet’s sister-in-law, married to his brother, Edgar.

Well it still isn’t on Netflix
