My tour will take you to the origins of the artistic rebellions of 19th Century French Art. The French have always loved a rebel; there will be a few rule breakers to see on the way like Courbet, Manet, Monet & Cézanne. I’ll put into context the significance of the impressionists revolution for the art of its time, why it was first rejected by the French public and is now admired the world over. We start with the Salons of the 1840’s dominated by two opposing masters Delacroix & Ingres, then end with the individuality of two tempestuous friends Van Gogh & Gauguin. A private two hour tour of the Musée d'Orsay limited to 6 people, in English. We meet by the sculpture of the Rhino outside. Museum Tickets are NOT included in the price, they can be obtained at the orsay . fr website (16€). All children under 18 get in free with ID. I’m an Irish artist & specialist decorator. I’m also now, for the past 10 years, a Paris Museum Guide.

From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 15.
Orsay is the museum the French love to visit. No wonder, because about 70 percent of the art on display is from France. As a professional guide my mission is to offer people insights into how to look at art, to learn how to appreciate it. As an artist, I know the craft of making art, how to draw & paint. With this knowledge I can bring an artwork to life, expand on its historical context, explain its uniqueness, sharing my knowledge on how to appreciate the style & techniques of an artist. Talking about art with humour and insight is what you get. I think I know how to transmit this passion for art to other people.
