Impression Sunrise
Featuring Claude Monet’s seminal painting Impression, Soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise) 1872, from which Impressionism takes its name, this exclusive exhibition (06/07/2019 - 09/01/2019) brings together works from the impressionist master and other significant artists to examine the founding of an art movement—a defining moment in art history.
Impression, Soleil levant, which rarely leaves the museum walls in Paris, will be coming to a newly designed exhibition space at the NGA this winter, along with some forty impressionist and related paintings from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, the Tate, and Australian and New Zealand collections.
