Vive l’impressionnisme! shows the most important French Impressionist works from Dutch museums and private collections. It will be organised by the Van Gogh Museum and Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, in close collaboration with Kröller-Müller Museum, Stedelijk Museum, Kunstmuseum The Hague, Rijksmuseum, Rijksmuseum Twente, Singer Laren, Groninger Museum, Teylers Museum, Museum De Fundatie and The Mesdag Collection.

Artists such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Alfred Sisley and Paul Cézanne captured the personal experience and light of a specific and fleeting moment – an impression – in loose brushstrokes and bright colours on the canvas. This autumn, their most important paintings from Dutch collections will come to Amsterdam and will be displayed alongside pastels, sculptures, drawings and prints of the period.
