Admire Monet's luminous cityscapes, Pissarro's idyllic landscapes, and Degas' graceful ballerinas. As you stand before Van Gogh's iconic Self-Portrait and the mesmerizing Starry Night Over the RhÃ´ne, gain a profound understanding of his genius and turmoil.nnBy the end of your tour, you'll have uncovered the stories behind these revolutionary works and the artists who defied convention to change the course of art history.
