They ignited a revolution with an explosion of color and movement. Their vibrant canvases confounded critics, defied conventions and sparked scandal. A century and a half later, they are among the most revered and influential artists of all time.
Venturing from the garrets and cafes of 19th century Paris to the galleries where their priceless works are displayed today, THE IMPRESSIONISTS tells the story of the first truly modern artistic movement, focusing on five of its most important practitioners: Renoir, Monet, Degas, Pissarro and Morisot. Their determination to remain true to their convictions–and the price they paid as a result–is vividly captured in their own words, taken from letters and diaries, while the world's foremost authorities offer fascinating insights into their lives and work.
From the producers of A&E's acclaimed BIOGRAPHY series comes a groundbreaking look at the figures behind the other French Revolution.

1. The Road to Impressionism
The Impressionist' opens with a look at the men who formed the core of the movement: Degas, Pisarro, Renoir, and Monet. Despite their disparate backgrounds and temperaments, they were drawn together by a belief that painting needed to change, and they worked together–and fought with one another–to define what shape that transformation should take.
Filled with images of their earliest work and accounts of their struggles to gain acceptance in the all-important, government-sponsored Salon, this volume introduces the men who changed the way the world looked at art.
2. Capturing the Moment
In 1871, the Impressionists organized an exhibition of their own in response to the conservative Salon. That same year, they welcomed the opening of the first gallery devoted to their art. Critical response, however, remained withering, and the painters would have to wait until the legendary New York show of 1886 before they were finally able to enjoy the rewards of their long labors.
'The impressionists' visits some of the world's leading galleries and museums to trace the development of the movement and the artists during these tumultuous years. And in the final hour, authorities such as the painter Chuck Close and the curator of the Frick Collection examine the legacy of the artists and the movement they created.
