"The Loch Ness Swamp"
“Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape",
said of this canvas Louis Leroy, an Art critic, when the painted was
exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1877. And this is
just an example of how most of the critics of the time reacted to this
painting, and, by extension, to the whole Impressionist movement (a
movement that in fact owes its name to this painting) It is not
surprising, then, that nobody offered 1,000 francs, the asking price for
this painting.
