“The art movement of Impressionism was an artistic movement that began in the late 1800s and continued into the early 1900s. It was characterized by short brushstrokes and light colors, and it sought to capture the momentary, transient effects of light and color.
The Impressionists were a group of artists who worked together and shared similar ideas. One of their most famous members was Claude Monet (1840-1926), who painted many famous works including: “”Le Bassin aux Nympes,”” “”Water Lilies,”” and “”The Water Nymph.”” Other notable Impressionist painters include Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), and Alfred Sisley (1860-1938).
The term “”Impressionism”” was first used to describe the art movement by art critic Louis Leroy in 1874. The first Impressionist exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, and it continued into the early 1900s. The art movement had a significant impact on subsequent art movements like Post-Impressionism or Fauvism.”
In addition to Monet and other famous artists working during this period, there were also many lesser-known painters who played an important role in developing this style of painting; they included Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro among others.
