Summary:

Impressions of France traces the development of the French painted landscape from1860 to 1890, a period of dramatic artistic evolution. Taking as his context the Paris Salons - "the central forum for the display of contemporary art in Paris, and the focus for discussions of the state of modern art"--John House explains how the Impressionist landscapes exhibited there both reflected, and forever changed, the cultural tastes of the age.
