And by the 1890s, this “loose coalition” of artists who rebelled against the formality of the French Academy had created the most famous artistic movement in history. “They” were the Impressionists, and Profes- sor Brettell is your expert curator and guide to a movement that created a new, intensely personal vision of the world.
