Impressionism
is a art movement that
originated with several Paris-based artists during the 19th century. The group displayed their new
style of painting at independent exhibitions, which brought their work to be noticed and appreciated during the 1870s and
1880s. However, some of the work of the artist did get harsh opposition from
the conventional art community in France.
Furthermore, The name for this style
of work comes originally from the title of a Claude Monets work, ’ Impression, soleil levant’ . The main characteristics of this
style of painting were the small thin, yet visible brushstrokes created on the
paper, and how the emphasis on the light within the painting.
