Is Paris known for art?

Paris has been the centre of many innovations in art and has received the reputation of the ‘City of Art’. Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Eugene Delacroix, and Cezanne are a handful of the many artists that have been influenced by the city in one way or another. The city boasts some of the biggest and best collections of art that can be found in the Louvre, the Musee d’Orsay, the Centre Pompidou, Musee de l’Orangerie, and so much more that it makes it seem like the city is a giant treasure chest. 

Impressionism

One of the recognised art movements of art history is Impressionism. This movement emerged in Paris and was pioneered by a group of eager artists like Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, and more. The Impressionists hoped to break away from the conventions of art of the time. After Monet painted Impression, Sunrise (1872), not all critics were won over by this experimental painting, with one critic disliking it so much he dubbed the group of artists who had showcased paintings in a similar style, ‘impressions’. The slight was adopted, and the Impressionists ran with the name, wearing it like a badge of honour.  

Neoclassicism

Neoclassicism emerged in the late-eighteenth century and lasted until the mid-nineteenth century. The movement was born out of a desire to return to the idealised forms and mythologies of ancient Greek and Roman cultures. One of the most prominent artists from this period was Jacques-Louis David, whose theatrical paintings captured moments of the past.

Romanticism

While Romanticism spanned across Europe, it first started in England and flourished in France following the French Revolution. It emerged around the same time as Neoclassicism but contained the emotion that the Neoclassicists lacked, and the use of vibrant colours. Eugene Delacroix and Theodore Gericault were two of the key figures of the movement, with many of their works now hanging in French galleries and museums.
