Impressionist Art

Impressionist art

Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. They paint the pictures with a lot of colour and most of their pictures are outdoor scenes.

Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. Their independent exhibitions  brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s, in spite of harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France.
