Acknowledgments

Impressions of Light grew out of an earlier project, an exhibition entitled Monet, Renoir, and the Impressionist Landscape, organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, on the occasion of the opening of the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1999. We are grateful to our colleagues in Nagoya, particularly Saeko Yamawaki and Makiko Yamada, for their cooperation. That exhibition, slightly altered, was subsequently presented in 2000 and in 2002 in North America and in Ireland. We would like to thank our associates at the following institutions for their support of the project: at the National Gallery of Canada: Pierre Théberge, Colin B. Bailey, Serge Thériault, Usher Caplan; at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts: Katharine Lee Reid, Richard Woodward, Malcolm Cormack; at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston: Peter Marzio, Edgar Peters Bowron, Mary Morton; and at the National Gallery of Ireland: Raymond Keaveney, Fionnuala Croke.

The authors and contributors are grateful to the following individuals who have given advice during the preparation of the catalogue: Sylvie Aubenas, Katia Busch, Denis Canguilhem, David Park Curry, Malcolm Daniel, Louise Désy, Douglas Druick, Robert Hershkowitz, Erica E.

This fascinating journey through the art of the 19th-century French landscape offers a host of masterful works, among them Corot's Forest of Fontainbleau, Millet's End of the Hamlet of Gruchy, Renoir's Rocky Crags at L'Estaque, and Monet's Rue de la Bavolle, Honfleur. As is often the case, however, some of the most wonderful things to see are also the least expected: rare and unusual monotypes by Degas, three states of a softground etching by Pissarro, and numerous works by some of their lesser-known but equally important contemporaries. Unlike previous books on the topic, Impressions of Light presents a unique and stunningly complete group of work that introduces a new level of complexity into the discussion of French landscapes. Rather than considering the landscape as a steady, linear development and the product of a single medium, it takes into account the many crosscurrents and intersecting developments in French art, from the Barbizon school through the post-Impressionist period. In addition, it studies the landscape in a variety of media--painting, prints, and photography--exploring both the individual artists' perceptions and the ways in which they influenced each other. With over 80 paintings and 70 works on paper from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's collections, and published to accompany a major exhibition, Impressions of Light encompasses more than 100 years and 56 artists working in a dozen different media. It holds the broadest possible view, yet never loses sight of the extraordinary intricacy that makes the landscape so enduringly appealing.
