Among the exhibition highlights will be several of NGS’s world-class holdings, such as Gauguin’s Vision of the Sermon and Degas’s Portrait of Diego Martelli, as well as pre-Impressionist masterpieces such as Pissarro’s The Marne at Chennevières.

The exhibition focuses on the Scottish pioneering collectors who, through their gifts and bequests, led some significant Impressionist works to become part of the NGS collection. It also explores how, at the same time that a market for Impressionism began to thrive, a parallel one for fakes took hold, ending in two major scandals in the 1930s around forgeries of Millet's and Van Gogh's work. Visitors to the exhibition are also asked to spot a counterfeit artwork that has been included by curators. Kang, Cindy (2018). Berthe Morisot: Woman Impressionist.

A Taste for Impressionism: Modern French art from Millet to Matisse (30 July – 13 November 2022) will explore how visionary Scottish collectors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries invested in what were then innovative and radical artworks. This exhibition includes masterpieces by Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Degas, Sisley and Morisot, as well as an exceptional group of more than 20 paintings by Renoir. The collection also embraces important works by pre-Impressionist artists such as Corot, Théodore Rousseau and J-F. Millet, as well as examples of highly polished "academic" paintings by Gérôme, Alma-Tadema and Bouguereau.The individual artists achieved few financial rewards from the Impressionist exhibitions, but their art gradually won a degree of public acceptance and support. Their dealer, Durand-Ruel, played a major role in this as he kept their work before the public and arranged shows for them in London and New York. Although Sisley died in poverty in 1899, Renoir had a great Salon success in 1879. [21] Monet became secure financially during the early 1880s and so did Pissarro by the early 1890s. By this time the methods of Impressionist painting, in a diluted form, had become commonplace in Salon art.

By the early 1880s, Impressionist methods were affecting, at least superficially, the art of the Salon. Fashionable painters such as Jean Béraud and Henri Gervex found critical and financial success by brightening their palettes while retaining the smooth finish expected of Salon art. [58] Works by these artists are sometimes casually referred to as Impressionism, despite their remoteness from Impressionist practice. The movement made its official debut in 1874 in a show hosted by the Paris photography studio of Félix Nadar. This show was an alternative to the Académie des Beaux-Arts’ Salon de Paris, which had been the official exhibition and overseer of art world standards since 1667. Comprised of works submitted to the Salon that were rejected by the Académie, the group calling itself “The Cooperative and Anonymous Association of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers” featured 30 artists showing work, including some of the most now-famous names in art: Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro.

The Impressionists faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant ( Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical 1874 review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari. The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media that became known as impressionist music and impressionist literature. One day last week we went over to Edinburgh to visit A Taste for Impressionism Modern French Art from Millet to Matisse which is on at the National Gallery of Scotland. The exhibition is on till 13th November. French Realist painter Edouard Manet was an older mentor to the Impressionists. He rejected the single vanishing point in favour of 'natural perspective'and his unconventional subject matter subverted classical subjects. Other precursors to the Impressionists were the Barbizon School, who favoured landscape painting en plein air, English painters JMW Turner and John Constable, and French painters Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Gustave Courbet, who captured the fleeting visual effects of light and the weather.
