Impressionism

Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in France in the 1860s and 1870s. The movement is characterized by its emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color in the natural world, and its rejection of traditional techniques and subject matter. Impressionist painters often worked outdoors, using quick brushstrokes and a bright palette to create images that conveyed a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. The movement had a significant impact on the development of modern art and continues to be celebrated for its beauty and innovation today.
