He was fascinated by the present in the growing French capital rather than focusing on the old masters. In a series of three paintings, he created a new pictorial topic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Monet's cityscapes of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the Jardin de l'Infante, and the Quai du Louvre are considered to be the earliest Impressionist city views. In them, he casts a completely new artistic eye over the modern metropolis being rebuilt by Haussmann. By doing so, he also inspired artists like Caillebotte and Pissarro to create their own cityscapes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonet and the Impressionist Cityscape \u003c\/i\u003ereveals a new subject born, in all its beauty, through the example of Monet's three principal works, as well as others by famous Impressionist and Postimpressionist artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777444048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Josephine Hein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45058729738421,"sku":"9783777444048","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b8b83d47-035d-4b20-9ef6-faf61b899d93.jpg?v=1738078217","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/monet-and-the-impressionist-cityscape-9783777444048","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
