This exhibition explores the visual and symbolic significance of water, an important subject for Impressionists at the turn of the twentieth century. Featured works by artists such as Manet, Monet, Sisley, and Signac address the role of water in commerce and recreation, observation and memory. Made possible by a generous loan, Along the Water: French and Dutch Impressionism from the Van Vlissingen Collection invites viewers to connect their own experience with the seacoast, rivers, and lakes to those scenes captured by Impressionists over a century ago as new technologies of transportation and communication transformed what a waterway might mean.
