Impressionism Art History Periods
Impressionism Art History Periods refers to a movement in art that emerged in the late 19th century, characterized by a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere through loose brushwork and vivid colors. Artists associated with Impressionism sought to depict the sensory experience of a scene rather than its precise details, often painting en plein air to capture the changing qualities of natural light. Key figures of the Impressionist movement include Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
