From the nineteenth century, artists leave their studios and paying closer attention to the scenery. Getting into a table, it is possible by visiting the places where teachers set up their easels.
1. Monet's Water Lilies, Giverny (Eure)
Designed in ambition and incredible aesthetic philosophy at the time, the Water Lilies grow Impressionism to its absolute, while they are the swan song. If the contemplation of two circular sets offered by Claude Monet at the Orangerie Museum in Paris makes you want to continue the experience, it's Giverny you will find the descendants of the painter lilies floating in the pool that 'he laid in his garden by diverting an arm of the Epte. Monet was enamored with Giverny, and realized there, like a painting is produced, a sparkling flower garden that was his "workshop" in the second half of his life.
2 La Montagne Sainte-Victoire by Cezanne (Bouches-du-Rhône)
A total of 44 oils and 43 watercolors reflect the commitment of Cezanne Sainte Victoire. Born in Aix-en-Provence, Cezanne quickly devoted himself to his passion: painting. Childhood friend of Émile Zola, with whom he traveled the Aix countryside, he will keep the memory of those years long walks in contact with nature. For twenty years, he will shuttle between Aix-en-Provence, L'Estaque and Paris, where he will never be able to win. Finally returned to Provence to paint the landscapes of his childhood, he fell out with Zola after the publication of artwork, inspired him to describe a cursed painter.
3 Views of Honfleur, Eugène Boudin (Calvados)
Eugène Boudin, a forerunner of Impressionism, first found his inspiration on the docks of the city where he was born, Honfleur. As such, Boudin is also the father of those artists who settled in Honfleur and elsewhere, their webs facing a landscape; Moreover he initiated Monet painting outdoors. Baudelaire, who was no stranger to the decision to follow his vocation Boudin, who began his career as a papermaker, proclaimed "King of the skies". The painter has made countless views of the harbor, houses and slate from the old port of Honfleur, who, in many ways, announce his fate town postcard; but different scenes, including market, show a more documentary look.
The Musée Eugène Boudin-presents more than 90 works by the artist but also paintings by Monet, Courbet and other artists.
4 Le Moulin de la Galette (Paris)
Climb the Rue Lepic and see (near nos75-81) the last two mills, ancient and often rebuilt to Montmartre: The Blute-fin and Radet. In the 1860s, the owner added a tavern and a rustic ball, called Moulin de la Galette (note again the restaurant sign to that name near the mill Radet). The popular mood or rabble, these dances and dance halls, the charm of the hill and the old mills inspired many artists, starting with Renoir painted in 1876, his famous Bal au moulin de la Galette (silly ay, Musée d'Orsay), but also Van Gogh (1886), Toulouse-Lautrec (1889), Picasso (1900) and many others.
