What to see this month

Welcome to The Web Gallery of Impressionists!

The Web Gallery is a virtual world of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, offering a wide collection of pictures from different artists and periods in time. It is supposed to be a free on line encyclopedia and we aim to collect all range of materials about this period in one place. The web site is showing diverse styles and relevant information about artists, museums and the pictures themselves. Whether you are a student, an art historian, a teacher or someone who is just interested in art history, particularly this period, we hope to provide a reliable source of knowledge about artists and art movements, master pieces along with news in one place.  If you are interested in Impressionism and all what concerns it, this Web Gallery is for you!
