Hey there! Ready to embark on a fascinating journey back to the rebellious days of 19th Century French Art? The French sure do love a good rebel, and on this tour, we’ll be exploring the works of some rule-breakers like Courbet, Manet, Monet, and Cézanne.
I’ll walk you through the origins of the impressionist revolution and why it was initially met with skepticism by the French public but is now celebrated worldwide. We’ll kick things off by delving into the vibrant art scene of the 1840s, with a closer look at the contrasting styles of masters Delacroix and Ingres.
Our adventure will culminate with the passionate friendship and individualistic styles of Van Gogh and Gauguin. This private two-hour tour at the Musée d’Orsay is limited to just six people and will be conducted in English. Let’s meet by the quirky sculpture of the Rhino outside.
Please note that museum tickets are not included in the tour price but can be purchased on the orsay.fr website for 16€. And here’s a bonus – all children under 18 can enter for free with proper identification.
As your friendly guide, I’m not just an Irish artist and specialist decorator but also a seasoned Paris Museum Guide for the past decade. Let’s uncover the secrets and stories behind these revolutionary artists together!
