By the 1860s, gardens were highly popular in France; new plant and flower species and the opening to the public of the former royal parks had stimulated a great horticultural movement.
With their delight in colour, plein-air effects and modern-life themes, the Impressionists and their followers naturally turned to gardens for artistic inspiration.
This superb book follows the flowering of the Impressionist garden in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and illustrates not only masterpieces of Impressionism by Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley and others, but also works by such forebears as Delacroix, Corot, Courbet and later figures like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Klimt and Sargent.
With its spectacular illustrations and engaging text, it will appeal equally to the scholar, student, art lover or gardening enthusiast.
