Post-Impressionism is an art movement originating in Europe during the late 19th century, characterized by a departure from Impressionist techniques and a return to expressive, subjective depictions of reality. Building on the Impressionists' emphasis on light and color, Post-Impressionist artists experimented with new ways to convey emotion and meaning through their work, often employing bold brushstrokes, vivid colors, and unconventional compositions. This movement encompasses a diverse range of styles and approaches, including Symbolism, Pointillism, and Les Nabis, among others, and has had a lasting impact on the development of modern art in Europe and beyond.
