Most art enthusiasts know about the birth of the Impressionist movement. The year was 1874 and a group of artists, rejected by the hidebound Académie des Beaux-Arts Salon, in Paris, 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. In this large-scale exhibition, the Van Gogh Museum—in collaboration with some of the country’s most important art collections (the Rijksmuseum, the Kröller-Müller Museum and many more)—celebrates the movement’s 150th anniversary. —Elena Clavarino
