The controversial realism works of Millet, Courbet and Manet confronted societial norms and paved the way for the Impressionists with the exaltation of nature and the brilliant perspectives of Monet and the movement in the intimate paintings of Degas, Pablo defines the role of concepts, allegory, metaphors, irony and juxtaposition reflecting the paradox and hypocrisy of society and shaping revolutionary change during the 75 years from 1849 to 1914. Confronting the reality and humanity of the working class in contrast to the privileged class with genius artistic technique involving you in an unfolding journey presented by a brilliant tutor. Highly recommended.

Anthony was pure artistry from start to finish at the Orsay. His knowledge and expertise were top-notch, and, more importantly, he consistently brought us closer to the works by making them come to life and acquire interesting and even humorous contexts relative to more than just the world of art alone. All along the way, he was well organized, considerate and friendly. We immensely enjoyed our tour and spending the afternoon with Anthony.

Nadia was great! She gave us a superb education on the building and the art housed within it. We left with an understanding of the paintings and the political context in which they were created. Her enthusiasm for the topic kept us all (including two teenaged boys) engaged.
