The Impressionists' Paris : Walking Tours of the Artists' Studios, Homes, and the Sites They Painted by Ellen Williams (1999, Hardcover)

Travelers who follow the walking tours in The Impressionists' Paris will never see the paintings-or the city-in the same way again. From the historic Paris along the Seine, through the bustling grands boulevards, to the cafÃ‰s of Pigalle and the dance halls of Montmartre, this guidebook pairs some of the world's most beloved masterpieces with the exact locations where they were painted. Readers follow in the footsteps of the artists from the pont Neuf depicted by Monet and Renoir to the intersection where Caillebotte painted his haunting street sceâ‰ from the balcony of the Louvre where Monet literally and figuratively turned his back on the establishment to the Gare St. Lazare, the train station from which he departed for his home in Giverny. Also revealed is the view out Manet's window, where he watched-and immortalized-a one-legged veteran hobbling down the flag-draped street. Period dining recommendations and the addresses of the studios where the painters worked, the buildings where they lived, and their birthplaces and gravesites complement this delightful guide.
