See approximately 40 Impressionist works from Europe and the United States alike, drawn from the Museum’s rich holdings in this area as well as significant loans. Few artistic movements have captivated the imagination more enduringly than Impressionism, originally a term of derision implying slap-dash facture. The now-beloved bold, bright colors thickly applied with a seemingly spontaneous and immediately visible touch of the artist’s brush were the hallmarks of Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Berthe Morisot. Their paintings caused a stir in the first “Impressionist” exhibition of 1874 in Paris, France, held parallel to the state-funded Salon de Paris of academic artists.
The first American artists to champion Impressionism, such as Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, and John Singer Sargent, did so in no small part by reviving the painterly brush stroke, a pronounced shift from the glossy finish of paint surfaces seen in European academic painting or American Romantic landscape. The sunny American West also provided an ideal setting for painting out of doors and the artists who espoused the plein-air approach would soon inspire generations of followers.
The works in this exhibition tell the story of the enduring rise of Impressionism from Monet to Paul Cézanne and Pierre Bonnard, to Americans such as William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri, and Childe Hassam.

Santa Lucía Hill

Mountain climbing

番茄Simin

The best view of the Andes Mountains. I climbed up instead of taking the cable car. The distance is not far, but the ground seems to be under repair. I fell and it was not worth it. In addition to enjoying the scenery on the top of the mountain, remember to try the local classic cold drink mote. It looks like a cold drink with pudding and beans, and it tastes good. It is said that the local Chileans will also have a cup at the top of the mountain. I took the cable car down the mountain. It was 3400, about 4 US dollars, which is not expensive. It is still a must-see attraction.

Plaza de Armas

Historic buildings

开心

The Plaza de Armas in Santiago, the capital of Chile, was a bit scary when I read the guide before I went there. It said there would be riots, thieves, robberies, etc., so I was very cautious. They said that mobile phones and cameras could not be exposed, which made us panic. When we got there, we really didn&#39;t dare to take out our mobile phones. Seeing that the church was very beautiful, we took it out and took a picture and quickly put it back in our pockets. Later, we entered the church and walked around the square. It didn&#39;t feel as scary as what was written on the Internet! Then we saw someone on the balcony of the museum next to it, so we went in. The museum is free, but you have to deposit your bags. You have to use a one-yuan coin to store your own locker. There is a room upstairs where you can climb to the balcony of the bell tower on the top floor, but you have to wait for about 20 minutes. People inside can take a group up, about 6 people at a time, because the stairs are very narrow and only one person can go through. When you get up there, you can take the last picture overlooking the church, which feels good.
