"Impressionism" was first coined in 1874 - almost haphazardly - in relation

The works are grouped by theme and some are accompanied by a commentary
giving particular insight into these artists who, at the end of the 19th century,
rejected the academic style in favour of a subtle play of light.
This volume will provide both a fascinating account of Impressionism and a
souvenir of your visit to the Musée d'Orsay.
