"Worth the time"? It won't be a waste of time since you already have an interest in these artists.Monet's most famous painting is Water Lilies
Degas is known for painting ballet dancers
Renoir liked to paint happy people gathering at a street party
Still think it might be a waste of time?

Simple answer to that: it depends if you like 19th century French 'stuff'.
And... what does your gut feeing tell you sofar?
I think it has less to do with sympathy towards the painters
but more about what type of person you are yourself.
Me I like better Rembrandt and the norwegian romantishers like Tidemand and Gude.
A matter of taste.

Oh, Rembrandt works I like. I don't remember if he used bone black or charcoal (probably both) in one of his crucifixion works. What struck me in this work is the all the detailed activity going on around the crucified, especially seeing the centurion kneeling on a single knee before Christ.And... what does your gut feeing tell you sofar?

You will be amazed at the works of these artists.Claude Monet's works are inspirational and mostly painted from his garden in Giverny which was like a giant oil painting in itself.
Many of Renoir's were actually personal and were paintings of groups of friends in side cafes and boating parties.
Do go Galrads as it will be an eye opener of extraordinary talent.

Yea, I think I like Renoir best myself of the 3 I think.
Monet has too little interhuman relations- for my taste.
But he famously (here) painted a bridge right about exactly where I grew up
west of Oslo.

Monet was the "founder " of Impressionism as he planted all the lilies and once grown he painted them.Monet has too little interhuman relations- for my taste.

He did paint people as can be seen in this painting and has done paintings of his wife and children as also seen below.

True Tiger, it's not without humans and good is that, but any tendency to drama is replaced by beauty. No I do love beauty don't get me wrong but sometimes I'mHe did paint people as can be seen in this painting and has done paintings of his wife and children as also seen below.
in need of some (exciting) dynamic to come though.
However if we sent one off to paint heaven I suppose Monet could be our first choice:)

Yea, and Tiger one more thing (to me dislikeing) regarding Monet.
Take a look at that last painting you showed us with the two chickens/hens in the foregrund to the left.
Notice how vague they are, lake you can't see them properly. Well, either you like that or you don't.
I must admit I don't. Does that make me into not only romaticism but realism?
I don't know the terms, but like Galrads I love the painters who put enormous effort on realistic details.
A matter of taste.

Don't overthink it, just decide at the time. Be in the moment is what the impressionists were saying although I suspect that personally I'd choose to just look out of the window. Perhaps a series of glances through the window to avoid seeing anything too clearly------ This thread is Archived ------

Here's a Renoir which is also not precise.It's painting "en plein air" with oils.Take a look at that last painting you showed us with the two chickens/hens in the foregrund to the left.

Seen any Munch?
He's going for plain scare and angst often, but other emotions too.
Not detailed either but a master at expressing human emotions through
body language, setting and color.

Rembrandt was not an Impressionist painter as he's from the 17th Century. so doubt he'll be exhibited.Looks like an alian.

Gals might just see this one though and it's by an Italian impressionist Silvestro Lega.

That was a brilliant etching done on copper .This has to be one of my favourite Rembrandt . Notice the dog bottom right barking at the drummer . Such attention to detail.
