The author gives us a close look at the period of some of the world's favorite artists. It also gives us a glimpse of the classes at that time and illustrates the fact that most of these artists lived very spartan lives, depending on a "sponsor" or wealthy person to commission paintings of family members.
Loved the book! I had forgotten how many of these impressionists knew each other and traveled in the same circles.
