The Private Life of a Masterpiece: Impressionism and the Post-Impressionists

A lively dance, a vase of brilliant yellow flowers and an afternoon on the banks of the Seine provide the inspiration for these three masterpieces from the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist eras. Three meticulous documentaries outline the histories and far-reaching influence of these universal works of art: Auguste Renoir's 'Dance at the Moulin De La Galette'; Vincent van Gogh's 'The Sunflowers' and Georges Seurat's 'A Sunday on La Grande Jatte'.
