What to expect

  1. Musee d'Orsay
    3h · Admission ticket included
    We’ll begin with Delacroix and the spirit of Romantic revolution, then move through Courbet’s Realism — where workers, women, and peasants became subjects of high art for the first time. From there, you’ll see how Impressionists like Monet, Renoir, and Degas shattered conventions with their visions of light, leisure, and urban life. We’ll continue into Post-Impressionism and Van Gogh’s vivid, emotional canvases, and finish with the Pointillists like Seurat and Signac, whose dots and color theories paved the way for the 20th century.
