    Edgar Degas Edgar Degas has captured the ideal genre moment in this painting: women ironing. Looking at this painting, we can travel back in time and look through a window into a particular person’s life. Degas, like Manet, was a classical painter who loved to paint ballet dancers, racehorses, and working women. While he dismissed the idea of paint...

    Claude Monet In this painting, Monet captured a moment of peace and harmony. It has a calming effect and brings to mind pleasant thoughts of spring. Monet returned from England in 1871 and moved to Argenteuil where he had many happy years. Nowhere is that more clearly depicted than here. In the painting, you can see a woman and child in the foregro...

    Claude Monet Claude Monet is one of the most famous Impressionist painters that ever lived. What could be more powerful than an artist painting his own wife on her deathbed? And that is exactly what this painting captures. Monet’s wife, Camille, had complications after giving birth and died soon after from either cancer or a malpractice abortion. M...

    Gustave Caillebotte This painting by Gustave Caillebot is a stunning example of Realism. It’s also one of the first examples of a representation of the working class in Paris. Before this time, the working class was almost exclusively portrayed as peasants in the field. Gustave himself came from an affluent Parisian family who was more known for hi...

    Paul Gauguin Paul Gauguin’s life was as colorful as his Tahiti-themed paintings. Considered a post-impressionist artist, he is most famous for his paintings created during his first stay in Tahiti. True to the term of “starving artist,” he did not gain any fame during his lifetime. Unfortunately, he became famous long after his death. The painting ...

    Vincent Van Gogh Painted in 1889, this is one of more than 40 self-portraits that Van Gogh made of himself over 10 years. Like older masters, he observed himself critically in a mirror. Rumor has it that he painted so many self-portraits because he didn’t have money for models. In this particular self-portrait, the light blue contrasts brilliantly ...

    Vincent Van Gogh Vincent Van Gogh is probably one of the most famous Impressionist painters of all time. He was actually Dutch and moved to France right in the middle of the exciting Impressionist movement. Starry Night was painted when he moved to Arles in Southern France in 1888. The painting itself shows the Rhône River, which was only a few min...

    Edouard Manet This unorthodox painting shot Manet into the spotlight in 1863 with the shocking figure of a nude woman, sitting with men having a picnic in the forest. Nude women were nothing new, but they had always been portrayed as a divine God (think of the Greek Aphrodite) and not as a regular woman. Manet refused to be a conformist and go alon...

    Auguste Renoir This is one of Renoir’s most famous paintings and easily a masterpiece of early Impressionism. There’s plenty going on in this painting, but your eyes move back and forth with ease as the vibrant colors make it extremely easy to explore. The Moulin de la Galette was one of many windmills at the Butte de Montmartre. On Sundays, people...

    Paul Cezanne By far one of the most famous paintings in the museum, its stunning simplicity makes it easy to take in the entire painting. Cezanne would most certainly have been influenced by another painting, Card Players, painted by the Nain Brothers, which was on display in Aix where he resided in the late 19th century. When you look at the paint...
