Impressionists – need I say more? Paris has two of the best collections of Impression-era artwork. They are in the Musee d’ Orsay and the Musee de l’Orangerie.
The following video shows only a few of what these museums hold, by the best painters of their generation. By all accounts, see them in person, either in France or when they are on loan at a museum near you. You will not regret it.
