Impressionists in Normandy

150 years after the first exhibition of the Impressionist movement in Paris in 1874, Impressionists in Normandy, an exhibition dedicated to the Impressionist current and its close links with Normandy, will be open from 21 November 2024 to 4 May 2025 at the Museo degli Innocenti in Florence.

The exhibition

Normandy, thanks to the colours of its sky, the sparkle of its water and its verdant valleys has been immortalised through the gaze of painters such as Monet, Renoir, Delacroix and Courbet, the protagonists of this exhibition along with many others: an exceptional corpus of more than 70 works that tell about the Impressionist movement and its close links with the territory.

The central focus of this exhibition is the Peindre en Normandie Collection (one of the most representative of the Impressionist period), together with important loans from the Musée d'art moderne in Le Havre and private collections..

The masterpieces on display tell of the intellectual ferment of exchanges, comparisons and collaborations between the greatest artists of the time who, immersed in a dazzling nature of intense colours and scintillating panoramas, gave Normandy the emblematic image of the cradle of Impressionism.
