The Impressionists : Video clip

"We can never go back from this moment."

This scene from episode 1 recreates the visit in 1869 of Monet (Richard Armitage) and Renoir (Charlie Condou) to La Grenouillère to paint. They are both seeking to paint in their own way, unhampered by the conventions of the past, and this setting allows them to do that.
