Impressionism Painting




Impression-Sunrise, Claude Monet

 Impressionism is an art movement born of the French association of some artists of the mid-nineteenth century. Heavily criticized in its early stages, this trend is particularly evident from 1874 to 1886 by eight public exhibitions in Paris, and marked the breakdown of modern art with the academic. Impressionism is particularly characterized by a tendency to record the fleeting impressions, the mobility of phenomena, rather than stable and conceptual aspect of things, and to refer directly to the canvas. Impressionism was a great influence on the art of this period, painting course, but also the literature and music.
