Édouard Manet - Born on January 23, 1832, and died on April 30, 1883, in Paris (France). Considered one of the most important representatives of French Impressionism, although many of his works have strong characteristics of realism.
Alfred Sisley - Born on October 30, 1839, in Paris (France) and died on January 29, 1899, in Moret-sur-Loing. Sisley was one of the most representative landscape painters of the movement. His first works revealed a certain influence from the work of Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot.
Berthe Morisot - Born on January 14, 1841, in Bourges (France) and died on March 2, 1895, in Paris (France). The work of this artist represents an affirmative reflection of Manet's work, although with longer and softer brushstrokes, with a tendency to verticalization, in an attempt to organize the composition.
Frédéric Bazille (Jean-Frédéric Bazille) - Born on December 6, 1841, in Montpellier, France, and died on November 28, 1870, in Beaune-la-Rolande. A painter who, as a friend, benefactor, and colleague of the Impressionists, played an important role during the formation of the movement. As a painter, he combined a certain naivety with a delicate sense of nature and a refined sense of color. His landscape figures are strangely immobile and have a sculptural and rigid quality.
Joaquín Sorolla (Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida - 1863- 1923) was a famous Spanish painter known for his beautiful paintings that portrayed everyday life, landscapes, portraits, and historical scenes. During his life, Sorolla was very successful and won several international awards and recognition.
