Since the 1860s, Impressionism has blown like a breath of fresh air from France across the entire continent - and stirred up the art world of the European north. In collaboration with the Dutch Museum Singer Laren and the Museum Art of the West Coast Alkersum/Föhr, the Hannover State Museum shows how the peculiarities of the important art movement were reflected in the works of the Danish, Dutch and German artists and were implemented into their own, country-specific variations .

Around 85 high-quality paintings and oil studies, depicting atmospheric moods and fleeting snapshots, testify to original themes, fresh coloring and a novel painting technique of the Nordic Impressionists - among them important representatives such as Anna Ancher, Isaac Israels, Johan Barthold Jongkind and Peder Severin Kroyer. In this country, the “triumvirate of German Impressionism”, Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Lovis Corinth, represent the style with outstanding works. In the seven subject areas Light, beach, country, winter, city, garden and Journeys The exhibition shows the differences and similarities between the artists.
