The term Impressionism was coined 150 years ago

150 years since Claude Monet’s Impression, soleil levant prompted a critic to write about ‘the exhibition of the Impressionists’. This moment is considered as the birth of Impressionism in France. In order to mark this anniversary, the Van Gogh Museum presents a large-scale retrospective exhibition Vive l’impressionnisme! Masterpieces from Dutch Collections this autumn.

A unique national collaboration

Vive l’impressionnisme! shows the most important French Impressionist works from Dutch museums and private collections. It will be organised by the Van Gogh Museum and Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, in close collaboration with Kröller-Müller Museum, Stedelijk Museum, Kunstmuseum The Hague, Rijksmuseum, Rijksmuseum Twente, Singer Laren, Groninger Museum, Teylers Museum, Museum De Fundatie and The Mesdag Collection.

The most important Impressionist works of art brought together

Artists such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Alfred Sisley and Paul Cézanne captured the personal experience and light of a specific and fleeting moment – an impression – in loose brushstrokes and bright colours on the canvas. This autumn, their most important paintings from Dutch collections will come to Amsterdam and will be displayed alongside pastels, sculptures, drawings and prints of the period.

Vive l’impressionnisme! Masterpieces from Dutch Collections is on view at the Van Gogh Museum from 11 October 2024 to 26 January 2025.
