Impressionists by the Sea - Royal Academy Exhibition

7 July - 30 September
This exhibition explores the origins and development of the fashionable contemporary beach scene from the early 1860s to the early 1870s, in the work of Eugène Boudin, Manet and Monet. It looks at beach scenes of the 1880s, in which the Impressionists, notably Monet, turned their backs on the depictions of people and used their new approach to painting to capture the effects of weather and light on the coastline.
