Impressionism and Its Places
Guided by the interplay of light and atmosphere, the Impressionists created timelessly beautiful paintings, whose spirit of innovation and energy continues to inspire today. From 2016 onwards, photographer Christoph Irrgang traveled to the regions where great masters like Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Paul Signac painted. He researched and photographed the locations of numerous works from the perspective of the painters. The juxtaposition of the paintings with contemporary images reveals the industrialization, modernization, and urban development of the last 150 years, as well as remarkable similarities. This exploration of the sites of Impressionism is as fascinating as it is enlightening, offering entirely new perspectives on a significant era of art.
