A stunning drama bringing vividly to life the French Impressionists’ struggle for recognition in the face of massive hostility from the art world of the late 19th Century. The delicate hues of Monet’s water lilies and Degas’ exquisite ballerinas contrast sharply with the real story of huge controversy, scandal and rivalries which emerges in this sumptuous drama based on an extensive archive of letters and documentary evidence.

Beset by poverty, living through massive social upheaval and battling the art establishment, the Impressionists really suffered for their art - yet their enduring friendship and commitment to this innovative style of painting was to survive all the rows, rivalries, duels and crises to leave a lasting and much loved legacy.
