Painters such as Monet, Renoir, Delacroix, and Courbet captured the immediacy and vitality of the Norman landscape, translating onto canvas the moods of the sky, the shimmering water, and the lush valleys of Normandy—the cradle of Impressionism. This volume brings together the masterpieces from the Peindre en Normandie Collection—one of the most representative collections of the Impressionist period—and explores the exchanges, encounters, and collaborations among the greatest artists of the time. Immersed in a dazzling natural world of vibrant colors and radiant vistas, they gave Normandy its iconic image as a place where the joy of painting comes to life.
