“Impression, August”
Our time-traveling Random Thread visits France in the late 19th century, a period of peace and relative prosperity later known as the “Beautiful Era,” or Belle Epoque.
At that time, a group of rebellious painters called Impressionists were rocking the artistic establishment with new subjects and ways of capturing light. Here, in a tribute to the Impressionist artist Claude Monet, Rebecca shows Muses at leisure in a garden about 50 miles west-northwest of Paris, in a village called Giverny. Noting the shadowy figure lurking under the trees, we suspect that the idyllic scene is about to become more exciting.
