Impressionists

I finally decided to mount this set of early Impressionists by Braune into a display.I read that this set was design by Mohr and sold to Helmut Braune, who had learned engraving from him.  Berthe Moriset, one of the founders of the movement, is also represented here, taken from a Neckel Roccoco set. Vincent Van Gogh referred to this group as the Petit Boulevard salon. The last person represented here is Pere Tanguy, an art dealer.

The finished display

An unusual treatment was given to this set by Jon Redley (IFFS Journal 45) who painted all of the artists in their own unique impressionist style.
