The term Impressionism brings to mind Claude Monet and his shimmering landscapes, Renoir’s ravishing portraits, and other artists of the French school. In fact, Impressionism was an international movement, with trends and influences moving between artists in France and those in diverse countries where national variations on the style developed. In this lecture David Gariff examines the development and practice of Impressionism in the Low Countries of Holland and Belgium. Artists to be discussed include Anton Mauve (1838-1888) and George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) in Holland; and Emile Claus (1849-1924), James Ensor (1860-1949), and Georges Lemmen (1865-1916) in Belgium.
