During the 1870s, when the Impressionists exhibited together, their works were considered too avant garde for the general public. Their contribution, Impressionism, became one of the most beloved styles of painting in art history. The Impressionists broke with the conventions of traditional subject matter and painting styles and instead focused on the modern life in Paris and the surrounding cityscapes and landscapes of their time. Often painting directly out-of-doors, the Impressionists used open brushwork and a brilliant color palette to suggest a spontaneous response to their subjects. Claude Monet's Sandvika, Norway is the cover painting of this stunning Advent calendar from the Art Institute of Chicago, home of one of the most extensive collections of Impressionist paintings in North America. Surrounding the painting are signatures of all the Impressionist painters whose works are featured behind each of the 24 windows. Open the windows in sequence beginning December 1 and fill your Advent season with Impressionism. This Advent calendar measures 14 1/2 x 12 1/4 and has an easel back. It comes in a resealable poly bag.
