Impressionist art

Impressionist art is a style that emerged in the late 19th century focused on capturing moments of everyday life with an emphasis on light and color. Artists used quick, visible brushstrokes and a vibrant palette to depict scenes as they appeared naturally, often outdoors. Rather than detailed realism, impressionists aimed to convey the feeling or impression of a scene at a specific moment. Notable artists include Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This approach revolutionized how artists perceived and represented reality, emphasizing perception and the effects of light over meticulous craftsmanship.
