These 12 paintings represent some of the most significant works of 19th century Impressionism, showcasing the use of vivid colours, loose brushwork, unconventional composition and an emphasis on capturing the fleeting nature of everyday life. From Monet's famous water lilies and sunrise over the port of Le Havre, to Degas' depictions of ballerinas and Renoir's pleasing scenes of Parisian life, these paintings capture the essence of Impressionism in all its beauty and innovation.
