In this final lecture we saw a number of examples of the "legacy of Impressionism/ Post-Impressionism"- most notably the art movements that came after, and the photography and cinematic movements impacted by the work of these artists. Finally we discussed early collectors of the Impressionists (and other pioneering artists of modernism) and viewed trailers for a number of films set in 19th century Paris and the world of the Impressionists.
