![]() France is one of the first places where artists have tried to depict modern society. In France, which is undeniable the centre of artistic developments in the 19th and early 20th century, artists thus expressed their admiration for the new inventions of mankind.

The landscape as art form is modern by leaving the confinements of the studio behind and stepping into nature, with oil paint in tubes at hand, the artist enters a different world.
