"Sensation" from the Hermitage - painting of the 19th - early 20th centuries Automatic translate

On June 16, the Hermitage once again opened its richest funds and brought to light 80 masterpieces of fine art. The exhibition will plunge into the world of impressionism. “Sensation and inspiration,” is what appears on every canvas of the great masters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Eduard Manet will "speak" with their works with the modern world, which has somewhat lost the ability to perceive reality in the context of impressionism.

Visitors will be able to get closer to the origins of this direction of painting, having studied on the "living examples" of the era of romanticism and classicism, the development trends of artistic creativity, the formation of symbols of the new time. The Barbizon school is on display by Eugene Delacroix, Alexandre Cabanel, Jean-Leom Jerome, Theodore Russo and Charles-Francois Daubigny.

You can see not only the famous canvases, but also little-known works. The employees of the Hermitage-Amsterdam exhibition center are sure that this is the only way to perceive the full depth of their talent. The originality of the Impressionists, who seek to look at reality without external influence, through the prism of internal perception, was inspired by such extraordinary figures in painting as Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin.

You can see the truth only with your own eyes. Feel only the soul, not burdened by the burden of other people’s perceptions. Understand only by a mind cleansed of lies. And to love, only with a heart open to beauty! The "sensation" from the Hermitage is not loud, but it affects the inner layers of the psyche and leaves no one indifferent.
