Impressionist paintings

Impressionist paintings are a style that emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing capturing the moment's feeling and light rather than precise detail. Artists used loose brushwork and vibrant colors to depict scenes of everyday life, landscapes, and cityscapes. They often painted outdoors to observe natural light directly, creating a sense of immediacy and movement. The goal was to convey an impression of a scene rather than a detailed, realistic representation. This approach challenged traditional techniques and helped pioneer modern art, emphasizing personal perception and the fleeting beauty of the moment.
