*** About Impressionist Painting:

*** Impressionist painting is characterized by small, visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, and unusual visual angles. Originating in the 19th century, this style captured scenes of modern life and focused on the fleeting effects of light, often portraying an immediacy that was radical for its time. Impressionists like Claude Monet and Edgar Degas often worked outdoors (plein air) to capture the essence of the moment and the changing patterns of light and color, influenced heavily by nature and scenes of daily life.
