Artists and their paintings under the microscope here include Courbet, Cezanne and Pissarro, as well as their precursors and followers. She argues that landscape painting in general, and the plein air oil sketch in particular, were key drivers of change in artistic practice in the nineteenth century, which in turn led to the Impressionist revolution.
