British Impressionism is an art movement characterized by the use of vibrant colors, visible brush strokes, and emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities—often accentuating the effects of the passage of time. This movement emerged in Britain during the late 19th century as a response to French Impressionism, but developed distinct characteristics reflecting British culture and landscape. It is known for its capturing of fleeting moments and naturalistic scenes, often featuring ordinary people engaged in everyday activities. Artists working in this style aimed to convey their personal impression of a scene, rather than creating a realistic or idealized representation.
