About the exhibition
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Impressionism, the Van Gogh Museum presents the major retrospective Vive l’impressionnisme! Masterpieces from Dutch Collections. Thanks to an unprecedented collaboration between fifteen Dutch museums and private collections, the exhibition features more than a hundred of the most important French Impressionist works from Dutch collections.
The entire range of media is represented: from Monet’s iconic painted landscapes to Cézanne’s pioneering watercolours, and from colourful pastels by Morisot and Degas to emotionally charged sculptures by Rodin.
A central question addressed in the exhibition is how and when these French Impressionist works arrived in the Netherlands. To what extent was the Netherlands ready to embrace a modern, colourful art movement from Paris around the year 1900?
The exhibition is on display from 11 October 2024 to 26 January 2025.
