In the 1860s, a style of painting emerged in Paris which fundamentally called into question the artistic concepts that had been prevalent in academies up to that time. Impressionist artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas now focused on their impression of the moment, which was captured in paintings depicting moods and light at certain times of the day and of the season, as well as in snapshots of modern life. This new kind of artistic worldview spread to other countries in Europe and the United States, which in turn produced numerous Impressionist painters. With more than 450 works, Impressionism 1860-1910 presents an overview of the most important Impressionist paintings.

19世纪60年代，巴黎出现了一种绘画风格，这种风格从根本上引起了人们对当时一直在学院流行的艺术观念的怀疑。莫奈（Monet），雷诺阿（Renoir）和德加（Degas）等印象派艺术家现在将注意力集中在当下的印象上，这些印象被描绘在画作中（这些画作描绘了白天和季节的某些时刻的心境和光线），以及现代生活的快照中。这种新的艺术世界观传到了欧洲的其它国家和美国，这些画家反过来又产生了众多印象派画家。《印象派1860年至1910年》通过450多幅作品对最重要的印象派绘画进行了一次概述。
