Monet centenary celebrated with free exhibition in Léry-Poses park

A free outdoor exhibition titled 'L'Eure Impressionniste' has opened at the Parc de Léry-Poses in Léry, France, marking the 100th anniversary of Claude Monet's death on December 5, 1926. The show runs until September 20, 2026, and features didactic panels exploring the Impressionist landscapes of the Eure department. Co-curated by Ludivine Ponte and Catherine Herr-Laporte, the exhibition highlights Monet's biography and his concept of 'territory as studio', alongside works by Camille Pissarro, Félix Vallotton, Blanche Hoschedé-Monet, and Maximilien Luce. It also examines Monet's influence on later artists such as Mark Rothko and Andy Warhol. The second part includes a map of key Impressionist sites in the Eure—Les Andelys, Bazincourt, Gisors—and fifteen detailed analyses of paintings depicting the region's evolution over two centuries. The park, a leisure base, offers swimming, picnicking, and canoeing alongside the art.
