When Monet’s Impression, Sunrise was displayed at the First
Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 it inspired one critic to
scornfully describe the artists on show as ‘Impressionists’. And so
the name of one of the most successful movements in the history of
art was born. But was the success of the First Impressionist
Exhibition more fiction than fact? Was it really a groundbreaking
moment in art history or just a chance for some impoverished young
artists to make a bit of cash? Join James and Alastair to find out.
