With Manet's assistance, Monet found lodging in suburban Argenteuil in late 1871, a move that initiated one of the most fertile phases of his career. Impressionism evolved in the late 1860s from a desire to create full-scale, multi-figure depictions of ordinary people in casual outdoor situations. At its purest, impressionism was attuned to landscape painting, a subject Monet favored. In _Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son_, his skill as a figure painter is equally evident. Contrary to the artificial conventions of academic portraiture, Monet delineated the features of his sitters as freely as their surroundings. The spontaneity and naturalness of the resulting image were praised when it appeared in the second impressionist exhibition in 1876.

_Woman with a Parasol_ was painted outdoors, probably in a single session of several hours' duration. The artist intended the work to convey the feeling of a casual family outing rather than a formal portrait, and used pose and placement to suggest that his wife and son interrupted their stroll while he captured their likenesses. The brevity of the moment portrayed here is conveyed by a repertory of animated brushstrokes of vibrant color, hallmarks of the style Monet was instrumental in forming. Bright sunlight shines from behind Camille to whiten the top of her parasol and the flowing cloth at her back, while colored reflections from the wildflowers below touch her front with yellow.

Van Gogh painted this vibrant seascape outdoors. In fast, loose brushstrokes he tried to capture the colour of the sea. He described it as 'a colour like mackerel, in other words, changing - you don't always know if it's green or purple - you don't always know if it's blue - because a second later, its changing reflection has taken on a pink or grey hue.' (See letter to Theo van Gogh, 3/4 June 1888)

In the paint layer of this work are grains of sand that got in there during painting in the open-air.

Monet left several series of works that depict the same motif with changes in light, pigment or composition. He was fascinated by the stand of poplars along the left bank of the Epte River near Giverny, and he set down their form several times during the spring and summer of 1891. The special characteristics of this work are the three large poplars shown in the foreground of the image, and the bright lively impression given by the blue of the sky, the white of the clouds and the green and rose color of the trees.

The view is from the north west, with the hump of Clogwyn y Gareg below the summit and Mynydd Mawr to the left. By 18th-century standards, Wilson has remained quite truthful to the scene but he has steepened the mountain slopes in order to dramatise the composition. His changes of mind are clearly visible on the ridge to the right.

Venezuela, officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is a country on the northern coast of South America, consisting of a continental landmass and many islands and islets in the Caribbean Sea. It has a territorial extension of 916,445 km², and the population of Venezuela was estimated at 28 million in 2019. The capital and largest urban agglomeration is the city of Caracas.
The continental territory is bordered on the north by the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Colombia, Brazil on the south, Trinidad and Tobago to the north-east and on the east by Guyana. The Venezuelan government maintains a claim against Guyana to Guayana Esequiba. Venezuela is a federal presidential republic consisting of 23 states, the Capital District and federal dependencies covering Venezuela's offshore islands. Venezuela is among the most urbanized countries in Latin America; the vast majority of Venezuelans live in the cities of the north and in the capital.
The territory of Venezuela was colonized by Spain in 1522 amid resistance from indigenous peoples.

This painting is the smaller of the two versions of Rochefort's Escape painted by Manet after December 1880. The other version is in the Kunsthaus, Zurich.Virulently opposed to the imperial regime, Rochefort founded a political newspaper, La Lanterne in 1868. The newspaper, which was published in Brussels, was soon banned. In 1873, the journalist was sentenced to penal servitude for his role during the Commune.

His spectacular, swashbuckling escape by sea, in 1874, inspired Manet to paint this strange composition, six years after the event. The artist waited for the Republican victory in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies in January 1879 and a law granting the communards amnesty, in July 1880, which permitted the fugitive to return to France, before tackling the subject. He intended to enter his painting in the Salon of 1881.

By commemorating an event still fresh in all minds, Manet revolutionised the genre of history painting traditionally restricted to antique or mythological subjects. The barely recognisable hero with his tousled blond hair "like a flaming punchbowl", is here shown at the stern of a tiny dinghy bobbing through the waves. Alongside him are his accomplices, Pain, Grousset and Jourde. The sense of solitude and danger is made palpable by the size of the craft. An electric, phosphorescent sea, painted with small, flicked strokes, floods the entire canvas. It "rises to the top of the frame", where the ship that picked up the fugitives looms on the horizon.

Manet chose a vague technique to represent a six-year-old event which he had not witnessed. But the endless sea superbly conjures up the danger and drama. This paradoxical canvas also expresses his disappointment with Rochefort who had dashed his Republican hopes.

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the famous Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula (M16), 6,500 light-years away.

The towering pillars of gas and dust are about 5 light-years tall. The pillars are bathed in the blistering ultraviolet light from a grouping of young, massive stars located off the top of the image. Streamers of gas can be seen bleeding off the pillars as the intense radiation heats and evaporates it into space. Denser regions of the pillars are shadowing material beneath them from the powerful radiation. Stars are being born deep inside the pillars, which are made of cold hydrogen gas laced with dust.

The dark, finger-like feature at bottom right may be a smaller version of the giant pillars.

The colors in the image highlight emission from several chemical elements. Oxygen emission is blue, sulfur is orange, and hydrogen and nitrogen are green.

Astronomers assembled this view by combining several Hubble exposures taken in September 2014 with the Wide Field Camera 3.

Hubble originally imaged the Pillars of Creation in 1995 with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. This newer image presents a wider and sharper view than the original.

In 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, Claude Monet painted the Argenteuil Bridge seven times, and the railway bridge which spans the Seine upstream from the village, four times. This shows how attached the artist was to the motif, using the flowing river as a counterpoint for the geometrical mass of the bridge and its piles reflected in the water.

Here the foreground is filled with sailboats at their mooring. The effects of light on the masts and on the roofs of the houses on the bank in the background are an opportunity for the play of complementary colours (orange and blue) which accentuate the glittering light. The Argenteuil Bridge exhibits great variety in treatment: the still firm outlines of the solid or structured elements, such as the sailboats and the bridge, a smooth, even texture for the water in the foreground, and choppy brushstrokes capturing the reflections in the middle ground.

For Ballet Rehearsal, Degas' chosen a viewpoint slightly from above, to one side, with the focus on the stage bordered by the footlights. The lightness of the ballerinas dancing, contrasts with the relaxed gestures of those on the left, waiting to perform. The thin layer of paint, rendered even more transparent with time, allows the naked eye to see the painter's reworking. The legs of some of the dancers at rest have been retouched. In the middle of the young women stood a ballet teacher, his back towards the viewer. Finally, near to the seated man was another figure collapsed in a chair.This painting in shades of grey was immediately noticed at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874.

The painter Giuseppe De Nittis wrote to a friend: "I remember a drawing that must have been of a dance rehearsal [...] and I can tell you it was extremely beautiful: the muslin costumes were so diaphanous, and the movements so true to life that it has to be seen to be believed; it is just impossible to describe". Like De Nittis, many critics see this work as a drawing rather than a painting. It is true that Degas captured the most delicate nuances by using shaded tones. He invented this neutral, milky tone, whilst the harsh stage lighting brings out the brilliant white of the tutus that give rhythm to the composition.

Of all Degas' ballet scenes, this monochrome painting differs radically from the veritable "orgy of colours" splashed around in his later works. The explanation is to be found no doubt in the fact that Ballet Rehearsal was meant to serve as a model for an engraver.
