...Champvallon-style, said to have been created by a mistress of Louis XIV to seduce him; or his fricassee of Gâtinais chicken with artichoke and potatoes, a modern take on the dish served in 1790 at Le Cabaret du Père Lathuille, the establishment immortalized by Manet...

Ensor drew lessons in form and color from Turner, Courbet and Manet, but the spirit of his work, the mad afflatus of his gift, owes more to the Germans. His devils are inherited from Bosch and Brueghel. His taste for the grotesque traces back to Grünewald. He, in turn, would hand on his caustic vision of humanity to the German Expressionists, younger artists like Emil Nolde and Ernst Kirchner who saw the possibilities in his combination of sour disposition and strident palette...

"It's the challenge of getting the thing to work that makes them get up in the morning and go to their sheds," says Alexander...

Upon entering, the first pleasant surprise is Monet's Poppies Near Vétheuil and Manet's In the Garden of Bellevue hanging in the downstairs salon. But the vibrancy and luminosity of those Impressionist masters are just a foretaste of this small but exquisite museum's offerings. Upstairs, for instance, is Van Gogh's The Sower, whose thick brushstrokes and bright greens, yellows and blues announced a new style for the artist at an especially troubled period of his life: only two months after finishing it in 1888, Van Gogh argued with Gauguin and famously cut off part...
