In the former studio of the famous photographer Nadar, on boulevard des Capucines, around 30 independent artists chose to exhibit outside the official Salon. Ambitious, provocative and visionary, their names included Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro and Edgar Degas.
Transported to the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building, you’ll discover, room by room, some of the greatest Impressionist masterpieces, exhibited together for the first time.
As you stroll along, excursions will take you outside the exhibition, to the places that marked the beginnings of the Impressionist movement.
You’ll be transported to the Salon de Peinture et de Sculpture – held at the Palais de l’Industrie at the time; to painter Frédéric Bazille’s studio – where the idea for this exhibition was conceived; to Grenouillère Island on the banks of the Seine – where Monet and Renoir painted together; and to Monet’s hotel room in Le Havre – where he created his famous painting Impression, Sunrise.
These interludes gradually reveal the bonds of friendship and enmity that unite the group’s members, the substance of their quest and the scope of the artistic movement they are creating.
What did the painters look like, what were they wearing, what did Paris look like on April 15, 1874? These are just some of the questions that had to be answered to create the environments and characters for Tonight with the Impressionists, Paris 1874.
To answer these questions and ensure the historical and scientific accuracy of this immersive expedition, Anne Robbins and Sylvie Patry, exhibition curators at the Musée d’Orsay, supervised all the 3D reconstructions right down to the smallest detail!
This immersive expedition is based on two years of research carried out by Hubert Naudeix of the Aristéas agency on behalf of GEDEON Media Group.
