History Impressionism
History Impressionism refers to the artistic movement that originated in France in the 19th century. It is characterized by the use of loose brushwork, emphasis on light and its changing qualities, ordinary subject matter, and the inclusion of movement as a crucial element in the artwork. Impressionist artists sought to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life and the effects of light on the scene. This style of painting marked a significant departure from the traditional academic art of the time and had a lasting impact on the development of modern art.
