Description: In comparison to today's outrageous art world, where shock value generates the most hype, the famed French Impressionists like Manet, Monet, and Degas may seem like stodgy old traditionalists. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Drawing from bestselling author, Ross King's new book 'The Judgment of Paris,' this iToor gives you a window into 19th century Paris art, when painting ordinary life, setting up easels in the outdoors and using broad brushstrokes were considered radical acts. Ross King sets the context for this art world revolution as you walk the bridges where Renoir painted, follow in the footsteps of Degas and discover how Manet's work caused the future of art to shift from tradition to rebellion. Highlights include: * Discovering how Impressionism earned its name * Visiting the Musee D'Orsay and & viewing the birthplaces of the paintings housed there * Finding out why Renoir was always looking over his shoulder
