impressionism, a historical reconstruction

practical hints

and abbreviations

 

 

Some practical hints in using this website:

• Links to the 56+2hc=58* partakers of the impressionist expositions are found in the left menu column. (or in the bottom menu) In the sub-menu’s mostly you can find info about the pictures they exhibited at the ‘impressionist’ expositions, at the Salon and an account.
  Note*: actually it is 56+2hc-1hc=57 partakers.
• In the header you can find links to info about this website, on the ‘impressionist’ expositions, on Impressionism, the locations (of meeting and painting together), the depicted themes, the surrounding world (Meta-Impressionism), other expositions (like the Salon) and other artists. The main page of this section is mostly a menu page with many links to sub-pages.
• -/- before the menu title means the page is not yet started / published.
  +/– before the menu title means the page is just started and still under construction.
  +/- before the menu title means the page will be developed further more in the future.
• I hope the main pages and the pages with many pictures will be interesting for many people.
  Some pages with detailed information, like the accounts of the expositions, are meant for those who want to make a more profound study.
• The underlined turquoise words in the text have an internal or external link which are opened in a new tab-screen. Topographical references are mostly linked to Google-maps (=iR9) or openstreetmap (iR468).
• See link for an explanation of the subscriptions of the pictures.
• See link for info about the identification of the pictures exhibited at the ‘impressionist’ expositions and the Salon.
• Sources: the sources are mostly mentioned at the bottom of a page. Mostly I will mention the most important sources. Furthermore I will refer to musea (=M), the general references (=R), the references to internet pages (=iR) and the additional references (=aR) mentioned at the bottom of the page. In the text I will refer to the sources (and it’s page) like this: M1, R5,p31; iR2; aR1.

 

Abbreviations and foreign words:

  Sometimes this is otherwise noted: CCP(P) =Critical Catalogue of Paintings (and Pastels).
  Or the first letter of the last name of the author(s) is used.
