*|‘The modem scenes the Impressionists painted are precisely these described by Naturalist novelists & writers, such as Emile Zola, the Goncourt brothers and Guy de Maupassant, though strictly working-class themes are rare in Impressionist painting.|* Both writers and painters frequented the same social circles – Zola in particular was at the time a close friend of several of the Impressionists – and they were trying, in their own media, to create works of art which would be truly characteristic of the milieu in which they lived.’
