Impressionist Artists
Impressionist artists were a group of painters in the late 19th century who focused on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in their work. They used loose brushwork and a bright color palette to create a sense of movement and immediacy in their paintings. Key figures in this movement include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas. Impressionist artists were known for their outdoor scenes, including landscapes, seascapes, and scenes of everyday life. Their work marked a significant departure from the traditional style of painting at the time, and they are now considered some of the most important artists in art history.
