内容简介
The history of Impressionism, including its forerunners, the great masters, and the representatives of Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism, is closely traced in this publication by exploring the Wallraf s unparalleled collection. The Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud Wallraf for short is Cologne s oldest museum and one of Germany s great picture galleries, boasting one of the most important accumulations of Western art from the Middle Ages through to the early twentieth century in Germany. In fact, the museum s collection of Impressionist paintings is the largest in the country, not least because of the Fondation Corboud s contributions, which in 2001 became part of the Wallraf when they were donated by the Swiss collector Gérard J. Corboud. The Impressionist treasures among the Wallraf s collection are presented here for the first time in a splendid, richly-illustrated volume. Monet, Renoir, Sisley, and the works of many other great masters are the focus of this book, providing a feast for the eyes on a tour of the history of art from 1874 through to 1926.
