been influenced by the Italian Baroque painting school, also by the

Dutch masters. And then the Bulgarian painters are influenced by

the Dutch art.

French Impressionism

The last country we will compare Bulgaria with is France. Let’s enjoy together the following French and

Bulgarian artists.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)

He was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated colour, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions.

Two Sisters

Claude Monet Painting in His Garden at Argenteuil

Girls at the Piano

Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette

Claude Monet (1840-1926)

He has been described as "the driving force behind Impressionism" . Crucial to the art of the Impressionist painters was the understanding of the effects of light on the local colour of objects, and the effects of the juxtaposition of colours with each other.

Sunrise

Water Lilies

The Woman in the Green Dress

The Luncheon on the Grass

Edgar Degas (1834-1917)

Camille Pissarro(1830-1903)

George Papazov (1894-1972)

Julius Mordecai Pincas (1885-1930)

The "Prince of Montparnasse", born in Bulgaria, is best known as a painter in Paris, where he was strongly identified with the Modernist movement and the artistic circles of Montparnasse.

Christo Vladimirov Javacheff

Christo was born in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, on 13 June 1935. He was wrapping objects in various materials at that time, though it was through portraiture that he primarily supported himself.

In the painting “The Woman in the Green Dress” by Monet, the piece of clothing is actually a curtain, not a dress.

During the Second World War, Germans didn’t measure the price of the paintings of the impressionists. They used them only as changing goods.

Interesting facts!

Neron ,a Bulgarian painter, Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso are the only 3 people who have had their masterpieces in the Louvre while they are still alive.

The frescoes in the Boyana Church, from 13th century, are the first in the world which are characteristic with their own individuality and face expression.
