Starting in the 1860s, a small circle of young artist friends around Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Auguste Renoir developed an entirely new approach to painting. Impressionism, as it was dubbed, would become synonymous with an entire epoch in nineteenth-century art. In paintings executed rapidly and directly from the motif, everyday scenes and landscapes come to life before our eyes. The moment of execution appears indistinguishable from the instant of perception.

The exhibition invites its visitors to immerse themselves in the experience of these works with all their senses - to »smell« Manet's lilacs, »touch« the corporeal sensuality of Degas's self-absorbed dancers, and »hear« the blazing sunlight beating down on Gauguin's haymakers.

Featuring 60 works - including 33 from anonymous private collections that have rarely or never been on display to date - the show unites paintings by Manet, Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, and Degas as well as Berthe Morisot, Gustave Caillebotte, Jean-Louis Forain, Paul Gauguin, and the artist Mary Cassatt, who was a close and longstanding friend and colleague of Degas's.
