Paris in the late nineteenth-century still holds a certain je ne sais quoi in our imaginations. From the high-kicking can-can dancers at the Moulin Rouge to the glitz and glamour of the Folies-Bergére, from the refined opera and ballet to the smoky absinthe bars, the artists of the time recorded this life and energy in memorable ways. Featuring giants of Impressionism and of painting modern life: Manet, Degas, Seurat and Renoir as well as the inimitable painter of this colourful and theatrical Paris, Toulouse-Lautrec, and creators of iconic posters Jules Cheret and Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, this calendar includes some gems from the Courtauld's collection. Informative text accompanies each work and the datepad features previous and next months views. Printed on FSC-certified paper, with plastic-free packaging.
