On the trail of Impressionism

THE school of impressionism in the history of art is closely associated with the landscapes of Normandy. It began with Claude Monet’s canvas, “Impression, sunise”, painted in Le Havre in 1872. Impressionist works are to be found in galleries across the region. A fascinating guide, “Impressionist Normandy”, is on sale (in French or English) from the Dieppe Tourist Office.
