French painting
Canvas from Paris
French painting refers to paintings created in France or by French artists, or more specifically to the tradition and style of art that developed in France from the medieval period onward.
The term often evokes movements that flourished there—Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Rococo—or masters like Monet, Renoir, and Cézanne: The museum's collection of French painting spans four centuries.
