Impressionist art refers to a style of painting that emerged in the 19th century, characterized by the use of small, visible brush strokes, emphasis on light and its changing qualities, ordinary subject matter, and an emphasis on capturing the overall impression of a scene rather than focusing on details. Artists associated with this movement include Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro.
