Part 4: Final Flourish
This episode takes a closer look at the late years of Impressionism, using the last show these
artists did together as a starting point. Waldemar looks in considerable depth at the work of
Georges Seurat, taking into consideration his academic training at the Beaux-Arts School in Paris
and the artists that influenced him, such as Piero della Francesca and Puvis de Chavannes. There is
also an insight into the complex but fascinating world of optics and art, and the ways in which the
Impressionists were using the new discoveries in light and eyesight to influence their work. Van
Gogh's time in Paris, a period very little is known about, is also covered, charting the incredible
journey the artist made from his brown and dull canvases to the splendid colour and light that
pervaded his work on the cusp of his departure for the South of France. The film finishes with a
revisiting of Monet and his later waterlily paintings in the Orangerie in Paris.
