The Impressionists, a three part factual drama for BBC ONE, vividly reconstructs the movement's remarkable story.
Based on archive letters, records and interviews from the time, the series records the lives of the artists who were to transform the art world.
It is a tale of poverty and of a struggle for recognition, set against a backdrop of war and revolution.
But at the heart is the brotherhood of artists, bound by enduring friendships and their commitment to a new type of art which survived rows, rivalries, duels and crises.
The story is led by the paintings. Some of the world's most memorable art works are recreated here following the same techniques that the artists used at the time.
The series reveals how Monet took just 40 minutes to paint his seminal work Impression: Sunrise in a race against time to capture the light; why Manet's depiction of Olympia, in which his model brazenly gazes out of the canvas, so outraged Parisian society; and how Cézanne's 60 paintings of one mountain, Montagne Saint-Victoire, laid the foundations for cubism and modern art.

上个世纪的30年代，一位德国文学教授约翰·赫德 (英文John Halder ；Viggo Mortensen 饰)身边有年迈且病重的母亲、妻子、情人和犹太好友，由于撰写主张安乐死的小说，他受到了纳粹的注意。从开始的不情愿，到后来的纳粹军官，赫德在感性和理性的天平上一直小心翼翼得平衡着。这就是为什么你很难做到去恨这样一个人物的原因，一个极其脆弱和敏感又极其爱慕虚名、自负的结合体，一个被卷入纳粹运动洪流的人。本片有别于一般的纳粹电影，并非《朗读者》一样将观众牵入大是大非当中，更没有一个盖棺定论的“结局”。对于安乐死的主题和二战的特殊历史背景下，赫德教授的故事，还需要观众的一双慧眼自己去甄别其主旨。
本片改编自英国剧作家C. P. Taylor的同名戏剧。
