During the 1860s, the Salon jury routinely rejected about half of the works submitted by Monet and his friends in favour of works by artists faithful to the approved style. [9] In 1863, the Salon jury rejected Manet's The Luncheon on the Grass ( Le déjeuner sur l'herbe) primarily because it depicted a nude woman with two clothed men at a picnic. While the Salon jury routinely accepted nudes in historical and allegorical paintings, they condemned Manet for placing a realistic nude in a contemporary setting. [10] The jury's severely worded rejection of Manet's painting appalled his admirers, and the unusually large number of rejected works that year perturbed many French artists.Many vivid synthetic pigments became commercially available to artists for the first time during the 19th century. These included cobalt blue, viridian, cadmium yellow, and synthetic ultramarine blue, all of which were in use by the 1840s, before Impressionism. [25] The Impressionists' manner of painting made bold use of these pigments, and of even newer colours such as cerulean blue, [4] which became commercially available to artists in the 1860s. [25] Among the few collectors who had the foresight to buy what were then edgy works of art were a handful of Scottish tastemakers who snapped up pieces by the likes of Degas, Monet, Pissarro and Cézanne, often well before their English counterparts. Several of these individuals were ‘new money’ having become rich through shipbuilding and textiles.

The influence of the French Impressionists lasted long after most of them had died. Artists like J.D. Kirszenbaum were borrowing Impressionist techniques throughout the twentieth century.

In 1873 a group of artists in Paris established the Societe Anonyme des Artistes, Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs, a collective for organising independent exhibitions outside the official art establishment. Founding members included Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley. Their first exhibition was held in 1874 in the Parisian studio of photographer Felix Nadar at 35 Boulevard de Capucines and represented 30 artists, including Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, Berthe Morisot and Paul Cézanne.

Ivan Grohar, Rihard Jakopič, Matija Jama, and Matej Sternen, Impressionists from Slovenia. Their beginning was in the school of Anton Ažbe in Munich and they were influenced by Jurij Šubic and Ivana Kobilca, Slovenian painters working in Paris. Filled with masterpieces by Monet, Pissarro, Degas, Renoir, Sisley and Manet, the exhibition tells the story of the far-sighted French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922). During the course of his long career, it is estimated that up to 12,000 Impressionist paintings passed through Durand-Ruel’s hands.
