Book Description (from the book cover flap):
A Day in the Country , with its wealth of exquisite color-plates, is a glorious armchair excursion into the world of the French Impressionists. But it is also a newly opened window on what the great artists who created these masterpieces were trying to achieve.
This is the first volume to approach Impressionist landscapes not merely as exaltations of physical beauty but as modern statements of important principles--artistic and social. The great new network of railroads that expanded the horizons of even the poorest city dweller, and the resulting new interactions of city and country life, are part of this absorbing chronicle . . . .
