THE ORSAY MUSEUM AND IMPRESSIONISM

Housed in the former Orsay railway station, the Orsay Museum is the impressionist

museum of Paris. The beautiful «Gare d’Orsay» was one of Paris main stations

which was built in 1900.

Located across the Louvre Museum on the Seine river left bank, the station has been

spectacularly renovated from 1977 to 1986 to host the Orsay Museum collections.

The national museum of the Musée d’Orsay opened to the public on 9 December

1986 to show the great diversity of artistic creation in the western world between

1848 and 1914. It was formed with the national collections coming mainly from

three establishments:

— from the Louvre museum, for the works of artists born after 1820 or coming to

the fore during the Second Republic;

— from the Musée du Jeu de Paume, which since 1947 had been devoted to

Impressionism;

— and lastly from the National Museum of Modern Art, which, when it moved in

1976 to the Centre Georges Pompidou, only kept works of artists born after 1870.

But each artistic discipline represented in the Musée d’Orsay collections has its own

history, which you can discover using this menu.

The Orsay Museum, a must for art lovers, is known worldwide for its fabulous

impressionist paintings. The «Impressionism» was a French painting school in the

second half of the 19th century.

The impressionists included Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Edgar Manet and Theo

Van Gogh. They painted ordinary life and people in the open air. They totally rejected

the tradition of historical and mythological subjects and used light colours. Above all,

they are famous for having departed from the tradition of reproducing the real world.

They instead used colour spots and strokes to suggest their impression of the real

world. This impression is only perceivable at a distance from their paintings.

The Impressionist paintings are now widely acclaimed as some of the bests in art

history.
