From Manet to Impressionism: a Modern Rennaisance. Fundación Mapfre, 14 January – 22 April 2010, Madrid
The exhibition comprising 90 Impressionist works, borrowed by Fundación Mapfre from the Paris Musée d'Orsay, consists of 11 separate sections, permeated by references to the relationship between the Spanish art and the Impressionist movement. The show opens with a section titled The Triumph of Manet, positioning Edouard Manet as the driving force behind the Impressionist movement. It was his trip to Spain in 1865 that is claimed to have transformed the French art scene. Influenced by Velazquez and Goya, the painter created works that clearly demonstrate a strong impulse borrowed from the Spanish art. At the same time, the show contributes to refuting the generally accepted view of Impressionism as the most radical of the 19th-century art phenomena by juxtaposing the work of artists like Renoir and Monet with other French art movements of the time, namely - with Symbolism and Naturalism.
