First sentence: Japanese art had a great impact on Europe in the middle of the nineteenth century and was an important stimulus to many artists such as Edouard Manet (1832-83), Claude Monet (1840-1926), James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), Edgar Degas (1834-1917), Mary Cassatt (1845-1926), Vincent van Gogh (1853-90) and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901).
