The exhibition included many paintings from the period of the emergence of the Impressionism, most of them were of modest dimensions, with subjects ranging from intimate portraits, still life to familiar outdoor landscapes.
The exhibition was organized and displayed by artists, a choice group including many big names and a few less familiar ones. Below are the paintings I liked most:
