Fifty unseen masterpieces reveal how the Impressionists went from scandalous outsiders to creators of some of the world’s most beloved art.
Rejected by critics, dismissed by the establishment and destined to change art forever. SECRET IMPRESSIONISTS unveils 50 rarely seen works by Monet, Renoir, Manet, Cézanne, Morisot and more. Guided by curators Claire Durand-Ruel and Marianne Mathieu, the film explores how a radical new way of seeing light, colour and modern life became one of art’s great revolutions.
Rialto Recommends SECRET IMPRESSIONISTS looks beyond the postcard beauty to rediscover just how revolutionary Impressionism once was. Through 50 remarkable works rarely seen by the public, the film traces the journey from ridicule and rejection to worldwide adoration. Rich with colour, history and insight, it is a beautifully accessible portrait of artists who changed not only painting, but the way we see the world.
