Most art enthusiasts know about the birth of the Impressionist movement. The year was 1874, and a group of artists, rejected by Paris’s hidebound Académie des Beaux-Arts Salon, instead showed their work in a small photographer’s studio at 35 Boulevard des Capucines. The exhibition presented an explosive, eclectic mix—Renoir, Cézanne, Monet, Degas, Morisot, Sisley. Organized in conjunction with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and with 100 works by the movement’s pioneering artists, this exhibition charts the rise of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in late 19th-century France. —Elena Clavarino
