New Paris: from Monet to Morisot
15 Feb 2025 — 8 Jun 2025 at Kunstmuseum Den Haag
· The Hague
New Paris: from Monet to Morisot explores how the radical modernisation of Paris in the second half of the 19th century inspired a generation of Impressionist artists. Through paintings, drawings, and prints, the exhibition traces the city's sweeping transformation — from Haussmann's grand boulevards to the intimate corners of Montmartre — as seen through the eyes of Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and their contemporaries.
The show invites visitors to discover how the new Paris became both subject and backdrop for some of the most celebrated works in Western art history, capturing the energy, light, and social life of a city in flux.
