Renoir's love of painting 'en plein air' nearly got him killed. In 1871, Paris was in the midst of an (ultimately failed) 'Communard' revolution, and under siege from the national army. Renoir went out one day to do some painting, but when some Communard troops saw him sketching they thought he was a spy and arrested him. He was brought before the infamously ruthless and bloodthirsty revolutionary police chief Raoul Rigault. By an amazing coincidence, it wasn't the first time the two men had met. Decades before, Renoir had stumbled across Rigault in the forest of Fontainebleau, on the run from prison and half-starved. Renoir fed him, gave him new clothes and a place to lay low. Incredibly, Rigault recognised the man who'd helped him all those years ago, and in a rare act of mercy, set him free.
What an amazing tale! He is one of my favourites.
@@TheMuseumGuide The whole Paris Siege of 1870-1871 is one of the weirdest and most under-appreciated events in modern history. Artists and writers didn't seem to want to address it because a) they were afraid of being jailed or shot and b) no particular political grouping came out of it looking good. Basically, all sides did a bunch of murders, but the winning nationalists absolutely went to town and killed up to 20,000 people.
If I was in Renoir's shoes, I'd probably have just gone back to mostly painting people having fun too.
I absolutely love this Museum…an amazing collection of works in a beautiful open space. A really refreshing change from the Louvre, which feels almost oppressive in comparison.
I would love a special episode on female artists!
I’ll work on it. :)
Thank you so much for this series! The Impressionists, Post-Impressionists (and my favorite Fauve, Matisse) greatly inspire my own work. The Musee d'Orsay is on my dream bucket list! How about a visit to The Cone Collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art? That collection brings me such joy and I never get tired of the story of the Cone Sisters being told.
Even with my "skip the line" ticket, we still had to wait in line when I went because it was so crowded. Turned out, it was a national holiday. Oh well. It was still incredible to see all these works I had only ever seen as posters for my entire life.
It can be soooo busy! Glad you enjoyed anyway, though.
Yes please, a tour of just the women artists in mentioned museums !
Coming up in a few months time!
The way you talk about art is so passionate!!!
I got the feeling that being an artist is an act of rebellion... (and I love it). It would be awesome if you made a video about female artists.
Thank you! I can't wait to make a video on this topic.
Please do a video or more on women. I personally think Morisot was the master of Impressionism. And I believe Manet knew how spectacular she was.
Amazing videos!!! Congratulations!!! You explain the art pieces in such a clear and interesting manner that made me re-discover art history!!! Recommended to all!!!
Love this video. I did not know about the lives of the dancers. Fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Since my younger daughter is a professional artist, I certainly would opt for a video just on women artists of this time. thanks!
You're very welcome!
I didn’t like Impressionism at first but now I am really in enjoying it.
So glad I could help you discover an appreciation for Impressionism.
Wonderful video! Thank you for providing both analysis of the works and historical context. So glad I found this channel
You’re very welcome!
I absolutely love these videos!
Thank you Bunny B! I love reading your comments. :)
The identification of individuals depicted in some of the works in question is a great feature of this presentation. | Paris Museum suggestion: Marmottan. Merci Beaucoup ...
Thank you for watching!
Amazing videos! Thank you so much!
❤
You're so welcome!
Thanks Jessica for more great insights into Impressionism. I could listen to you talking about art all day! I am a particular fan of Berthe Morisot so thank you for including her and Mary Cassatt. I would welcome any programs you make about women artists.
There is a Berthe Morisot exhibit at the Dulwich Picture Gallery- if you’re in London, it’s worth a visit!
@@TheMuseumGuide I wish I were in London Jessica as I really love Berthe’s work! An exhibition of her work is also going to open at the Marmottan in Paris on 18 October. Sadly I’m in Adelaide in South Australia unable to travel anytime soon.
Jessica, your videos are so good! I actually feel like I’m getting a grasp of Impressionism!! I’m interested to see a video on the (so-called) bad boys and girls of art. Not in a sexual way or anything explicit, but more the ones who pushed boundaries of their time, who scandalized and challenged the “rules” and traditions.
You have inspired me to visit the Art Gallery in my city! Before now, I’ve only sat on the steps and smoked a lot of weed.
Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge.
Shannon, I plan to do a video about the Vancouver Art Gallery when I am there in October! I’d also like to do the Royal BC and the experience music project in Seattle.
We tried to visit this Museum about 1years ago but the line was so long it would have taken an entire day to get in. I'm So glad you're doing this series because it feels like I've seen the best of it. Thank you with all my heart.
Dale, I can't tell you how much this means to hear. Thank you, and I can't wait to keep visiting museums!
Another great video. Thank you! Love the idea of a video devoted to the female impressionists. Another suggestion for Paris, my favourite museum there, the Musée de Cluny (Museum of the Middle Ages) Pretty please? 😍
Sure!!!! I’m reading there next week!
Thx for educating me about the meaning behind the artworks. Appreciated it if you can do one on British Art Gallery.
You're very welcome! I have actually done a video on the National Gallery. I hope you enjoy! czcams.com/video/prgeZ13fDHA/video.html
That would be amazing if you could do a just on women artists!
Absolutely - I will focus on some great paintings in London and Paris!
Ur videos are excellent!
U really know what ur talking about.
I wonder if u would consider doing a vid about the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam!
Or u only cover museums in London and Paris?
Yes, I would love to visit the Rijksmuseum! I hope to visit Amsterdam early next year.
@@TheMuseumGuide Great!
Looking forward!
I would be very interested in the women artists in the museum. Thank you for your narrative. Very interesting and educational
Thank you!
Thanks!
You’re very welcome!
There's my Pretty Museum Guide!! lol
This made me happy. Glad you included a female artist!
Two, in fact! Cassatt and Morisot. Thank you for your continued support!
I got in trouble for sneaking a picture of the little dancer. 😈
That’s right- they never used to allow photos! They changed the rules about 5 years ago.
Sorry you didn’t include more on Sisley , my favourite impressionist. To me he is the most honest with his wonderful paintings. I particularly like his flooded and snow paintings.
I really need to learn more about him. Thankfully, he’s well represented at the National Gallery!
@@TheMuseumGuide are you familiar with the Marmotten Monet museum. I’ve just discovered it in Paris and it has a large impressionist collection.
I’ll be in Paris in May for a few days and I’m looking forward to seeing it. Maybe you could do a video on it if you haven’t already.
Oooh, it’s on my shortlist for my next trip!
Bravo! This vid was like being there again. The two museums I'd love to hear you talk about are The Musee Rodin (a deep love of mine, I've visited it in every season of the year and in every season of emotion), The Art Institute of Chicago (by virtue of a commuter train accident I have only been inside this palace for 20 minutes starting 15 minutes before closing time, 5 of those minutes spent avoiding security so the I could glimpse La Grande Jatte).
Ooo, ahhh. How some about Caillbotte. I adore his paintings but would love to hear more about his doings & goings on with the Impressionists. I have heard that he often purchased Impressionists paintings which greatly contributed to the preservation of the movement. True?
I hope to go to the Musèe Rodin in 2023!
thank you! have you a tour of pompidou center?
I’ll be posting it just after Christmas!
Yes! More on women artists!
I agree! I will make this one as soon as possible.
Musee Jacquemart-Andre and Galerie Kugel?
When they were painting these pictures did they use models or did they get it from their heads... I'm surprised you can pronounce most of these names
Musee Rodin
I definitely need to go!

Where are Monet's panoramic paintings.
I believe they’re at the Musèe Marmottan, also in Paris.
@@TheMuseumGuide The panoramic paintings are at L'Orangerie.
@@irenemcnamara9699 Good catch! I know there are some large-scale pieces at Marmottan, but I was thinking of the iconic Impression Sunrise.
