Description

Calendar event image

We are probably all familiar with French Impressionist paintings - the sun-dappled haystacks by Claude Monet and the fresh young faces captured by Auguste Renoir. But what do we know about the artists as people? Actually, quite a lot! For example, we know that Gustave Caillebotte paid Camille Pissarro’s rent on more than one occasion. And we know that Claude Monet was a pall-bearer at Edouard Manet’s funeral. Their lives and art works were intertwined in a way that is hard for us to imagine today. They were, at once, both competitors and colleagues.

Join historian Mary Woodward for a close look at the lives of the French Impressionists.  Mary C. Woodward has spent more than 40 years in the museum and historic home business, having earned her B.A. and M.A. degrees in Art History.

Sponsored by the Cambridge Public Library Foundation
