The Musée Daubigny traces the history and inspirations of Impressionism through an exhibition that immerses us in the landscapes of Val-d’Oise, a department that welcomed many artists of the period, until September 22, 2024.
Particularly popular with 19th-century artists and a major center of Impressionism, Auvers-sur-Oise is home to numerous museums and spaces where you can enjoy the art left by great names. The most famous of them, from Van Gogh to Pissarro, came here to spend some time during their lives, soaking up the calm of the countryside and the soft colors that dot the landscapes of the Val d’Oise. All of which has inspired an exhibition at the Musée Daubigny, running until September 22, 2024.
The Musée Daubigny, created in the mid-1980s and located in the Colombières manor house, opposite the Ravoux inn where the painter Vincent van Gogh spent his last days, is a must for anyone interested in Impressionism. On the occasion of the movement’s 150th anniversary, the museum explores the inspirations of these more or less renowned painters, from the idea of these works in front of a backdrop filled with nature, to their realization within a studio.
In particular, painters Victor Vignon, Charles Sprague Pearce, Léon Giran Max and Louis Hayet are featured, providing an opportunity to admire the color palette of their paintings, lighter than that of the previous generation, which emphasized light and drew on new artistic theories that helped the movement evolve.
