Week 5 – Paris
Art History Reframed - Autumn 2026: The Great Cities of Europe
In Paris, we explore the transformation of the city into the capital of modern visual culture. Haussmann’s redesign, the rise of cafés and boulevards, and the rhythms of urban leisure create a new world for artists to observe. Figures such as Édouard Manet, Claude Monet and Edgar Degas shift attention toward contemporary life, fleeting light and the psychology of seeing. Impressionism emerges not just as a style but as a response to modern urban experience. Musical parallels in Debussy and Ravel reinforce this sense of atmosphere, suggestion and fragmentary perception.
