Impressionism was a
19th-century art
movement that began
as a loose association
of Paris-based artists
whose independent
exhibitions brought
them to prominence in
the 1870s and 1880s.

The name of
the movement
is derived from
the title of a
Claude Monet
work,
Impression,
Sunrise
Characteristics of
Impressionist
paintings include
relatively small,
thin, yet visible
brush strokes and
emphasis on the
accurate
depiction of light
in its changing
qualities.

Radicals in their
time, early
Impressionists
broke the rules of
academic painting.
They began by
giving more
emphasis to color
and free brush
strokes than they
did line.
The
Impressionists
found that they
could capture
the momentary
and transient
effects of
sunlight by
painting
en plein air.

Impressionism
was an art of
immediacy and
movement, of
candid poses and
compositions, of
the play of light
expressed in a
bright and varied
use of colour.
