The Impressionists

Rouen is one of my favorite French cities. Monet's series of Rouen Cathedral paintings are some of my favorite impressionist works. The standard guess when anything comes up about impressionists and I have no idea is, Who is Monet?

Part 1: Some of The Impressionists and a well known work by each:

Gustave Caillebotte (Paris Street, Rainy Day)
Mary Cassatt (The Boating Party)
Paul Cezanne (The Cardplayers)
Edgar Degas (anything with ballet dancers)
Edouard Manet (Execution of Emperor Maximillian of Mexico)
Claude Monet (the Rouen Cathedral series, of course! - or anything with lilies)
Camille Pissarro (The garden of Pontoise)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Luncheon of the Boating Party)
Alfred Sisley (Bridge at Villeneuve-la-Garenne)

Part 2:
Country of the day = Austria. Capital city = Vienna.



Part 3: Word of the day = ululate verb howl, wail
