About the artwork

Vineyards in Alsace on a misty autumn morning in the first rays of sunlight in the impressionist style of Camille Pissaro.

The French Impressionists were an influential group of artists active in the second half of the 19th century. They are mainly associated with painting everyday scenes and landscapes in a style that focused on capturing light, colour and atmosphere. Impressionist paintings are characterised by loose brushstrokes, the use of bright colours rather than muted tones, and capturing the impression or feel of a scene rather than the exact details. Important aspects also include playing with lighting effects and painting en plein air, meaning the artists painted outdoors in nature. The Impressionist movement had a huge influence on the development of modern art. Their approach to colour, light and composition broke with traditional academic norms and opened new avenues for art. Many of their works are now considered masterpieces and can be found in museums around the world.

Alsace is also known for its excellent wines, including the famous white wines such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. The region has an interesting mix of French and German influences, which is reflected in its culture, architecture and cuisine.
