On the Trail of the Impressionists

The American Impressionist movement flourished in Connecticut in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and now the Constitution State has created the Connecticut Impressionist Art Trail, highlighting 11 museums and major collections. Some of the sites include Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum and the New Britain Museum of American Art and some of the artists include William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam and Mary Cassatt.
