Impressionism: Sensation & Inspiration. Highlights from the Hermitage 

The Hermitage Amsterdam (The Netherlands) will present, on June, 16, Impressionism: Sensation & Inspiration: the world-famous Impressionist paintings from the vast collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, in their artistic context. Masterpieces by pioneers like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley will be accompanied by the work of other influential French painters from the second half of the nineteenth century, such as Eugène Delacroix and Jean-Léon Gérôme.

The exhibition will deliberately place the Impressionists in the company of their predecessors, contemporaries, and successors, including both kindred spirits and competing movements. Favourites like Monet's Woman in the Garden and Renoir's Portrait of the Actress Jeanne Samary will be side by side with the work of Delacroix, Daubigny and Gérôme, as well as magnificent paintings by Paul Cézanne (The Smoker) and Paul Gauguin (Woman with Fruit,), who were inspired by Impressionism to develop wholly original, personal styles.
