October 1886 CE
Paul Durand-Ruel, struggling with his own financial problems, had abandoned his painter friends for a time.
The French art dealer, now fifty-five, mounts a successful American exhibition at the National Academy of Design in New York City, where there is a new interest in the Impressionists.
He shows forty-nine paintings by Monet and thirty-eight by Renoir together with works by Morisot, Pissarro, Degas, Sisley and Seurat.
