Home • On Demand Courses • Recent Recordings Talk : Steve’s Art History : The Subject Matter of Impressionism
Please note, this session has been recorded from a live course and is available to watch flexibly in your own time up to 11:59pm on 15th July.
Everyone recognizes the distinctive brushwork and light-filled canvases of the Impressionists, but their choice of subject matter was just as revolutionary. Rejecting traditional historical and mythological themes, artists like Monet, Degas, and Renoir turned to modern life—bustling city streets, leisure scenes, and fleeting moments in nature. This talk explores how Impressionist painters captured the world around them with fresh eyes, redefining what was considered worthy of art.
