- Miss Andre.
- Yes.

:56:05
May I take your coat?
Wait just a moment, please.

:56:08
- As we continue to view-
- Thank you.

:56:10
this truly remarkable
collection of art...

:56:12
one feels more and more
a sense of debt toward its donor.

:56:16
Now we come to
some of the impressionists...

:56:18
a group of painters who have always
been a subject of great controversy.

:56:21
Their break with the past was viewed
with great horror by the academic school...

:56:25
who had for so long
reigned supreme in French art.

:56:29
This is a Renoir.
:56:31
Actually, it is a painting of the daughter
of the marquis de Marineau...

:56:34
and was said to
have been done in 1894.

:56:38
Will you please
stay with the group, miss?

:56:41
- Me?
- We cannot have people wandering off by themselves.

:56:44
I must insist that
you stay with the rest of us.

:56:46
Renoir is famous
for his paintings of children...

:56:49
but this is
one ofhis finest.

:56:51
Here we have a Corot.
:56:54
- In this painting, the foliage,
far more than any signature-

:56:57
proclaims the painter.
:57:02
- Note the rich use of browns and yellows.
- Jervis.

:57:05
A truly fine example
of Corot at his best.

:57:10
For him, the countryside was
a constant source of inspiration.

:57:14
The homely, rustic scene is brought
to life here with great sensitivity.

:57:19
Hello, Julie.
:57:21
Hello.
:57:23
- What are you doing here?
- Shh! Quiet, please. Quiet.

:57:27
- Do you know my guardian?
- Oh, yes. Yes. Very well.

:57:32
- Oh. You never told me before.
- He asked me not to.

:57:35
But I knew you were coming here today,
and I had to see him first because...

:57:39
there was something
very important I wanted to ask him.

:57:42
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
as is customary, we conclude the tour-

:57:45
- I'm so happy to see you again.
- with the Pendleton family portraits.

:57:50
Here we have the portrait
of the firstJervis Pendleton...

:57:53
painted by
James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
