This teaching packet looks at French painting from 1830 to 1900. Not a chronological overview, it instead travels region to region—from Brittany to Provence. It offers a multifaceted examination of art and culture, exploring most of the nineteenth century's major stylistic trends (from realism to postimpressionism) and artists (including Rousseau, Corot, Manet, Degas, Cassatt, Morisot, Monet, Renoir, Seurat, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Van Gogh). Image CD with more than 150 works of art and archival resources, 20 color study prints, a wall map, 150-page booklet, and a separate classroom guide with activities and student handouts. (Slideset version with 40 slides also available)
