Paris: Impressionism to Avant-Garde

Discover painting at its most vibrant on this 5 week art history course. In the late 19th century, Paris was the western capital of modern art.  Artists from across Europe and America converged on the city to study, exhibit, and sell their work, fostering an artistic community unrivalled in its competitive vitality.   

Learn from our world-class experts wherever you are, whenever suits you: watch lectures live or view the recording later in your own time. You can experience the full breadth and depth of the V&A's collections with more than 10 hours of study over 5 weeks. Learn at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials, lecture notes, copies of the presentations, and additional study materials are available in our secure Microsoft Teams environment for 5 weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a thing. And finally, join the conversation: share your perspective with your fellow students, and support each other in your further enquiries outside of class time.
