Exposing children to art early on in life is crucial to develop a sensibility to beauty and the latest Tate Britain exhibition Impressionists in London, French Artists in Exile (1870-1904) opening on 2nd November 2017 is the perfect introduction. Tate Britain brings together over 100 beautiful works by Monet, Tissot, Pissarro and others in the first large-scale exhibition to chart the stories of French artists who sought refuge in Britain during the Franco-Prussian War. This exhibition maps the artistic networks they built in Britain, considers the aesthetic impact London had on the artists’ work, and presents instantly recognisable views of the city as seen through French eyes.
