様態の副詞

and they're not strictly pure landscape painters either,

and the garden, of course is the perfect setting for them

These artists were like boys in a toy shop.

They had new plants, they had new technology

and a wonderful opportunity and the creativity to use that

to express themselves in a very different way.

The term "impressionist" was first used in a pejorative context

of a painting which is now in the Museum of Marmottan in Paris,

by Monet and one of the critics said "Oh, it's just a mere impression".

And gradually, this word impression caught on.

We tend nowadays to restrict the definition to those artists

but actually in the 19th century it would have had a broader currency

and been applied to a broader range of artists.

The general public became aware of the opportunities in botany,

with the work of the French missionaries, with new plants coming back from China.

Many of these plants were new colours, they were new shapes,

to what we had been seeing in Europe before

and much more exotic and much more flamboyant.

in some ways, private and affectionate image.

There's a wealth of plant and flower life in this picture, I think, David.

I think very, very definitely and I think it's a picture that many people

a lot of the plants that are in it are things that we grow today in our gardens.

We've got along the front of the picture to the right,

a very colourful bed with what is probably lobelia

along the front and then a window box filled with whats

most likely nasturtiums and possibly some little pendulous begonias

In the large jar to the left of the picture,

to the left of his son, this big oriental jar.

this is an exotic succulent from the tropics.

it would have to be taken into the house in the winter.

that depicts these same jars in a room inside the house.

So he was taking the plants in and out to avoid frost damage

And the others, he was growing simple things,

"En Plein Air" is a term that had been used for some considerable time.

In French art it means "in the open air".

For your great landscape, your historical landscape painting

that was going to be produced in the studio,

And just as for a figure painting, you would go into the studio

and you'd study somebody's arm, or the overall pose,

So if you're going to portray nature, you needed to get out there

into nature itself and make the sketches, at least

The great thing that the impressionists did of course was

The open air painting became the final painting.

Paris was really the centre of the art world during the 19th century.

There had been a lot of technical advances.

We know there were technical advances in theories about colour

and these new industrial paints were also being produced,

the sort of paints that we're now familiar with.

And there was also something revolutionary about impressionism

It was wanting to throw over history painting,

religious painting and to get painting up to date

clash between two worlds here in this painting

in that you've got this cultivated rural scene,

and in the distance, you know, the industrial world

The person who works in the factory will have quite a different way of life

to the person who works in the orchard itself.

And it's quite - as a composition - it's quite schematic;

laid out into planes with large areas of fairly flat colouring

and these rather sort of diagrammatic, almost, trees: and

and we know that he was terribly interested in Japanese art.

Something of that Japanese quality comes over in this composition.

Oh, I think very definitely in the way that the trees are depicted.

You can just see his hand going straight down in one motion,

What is grown in the working garden is intended for consumption

Only certain of the impressionists are really interested in this subject

and the one who was interested above all, of course,

who's a very interesting person from many points of view
