Paintings dated between 1880 and 1920, including five by Monet and by leading figures in American Impressionism, such as Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, and Childe Hassam, will explore how the innovations of French Impressionism were adapted and ultimately paved the way to a uniquely American style of painting. Melchers&rsquo; paintings depict two Manhattan scenes, <em>Bryant Park (Twilight<\/em>), c. 1906-1907 and <em>Hudson River<\/em>, c. 1907, to illustrate the beauty and vibrancy of the city.<\/p><div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":7,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2015\\\/02\\\/02\\\/gari-melchers-paintings-are-taking-a-road-trip\\\/\",\"likes_blog_id\":230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"> <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px;
