Emerging in France in the 1860s–1870s, Impressionist artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Berthe Morisot focused on capturing fleeting moments of modern life, especially the effects of light, color, and atmosphere. Instead of detailed realism, they used loose brushwork, bright unmixed colors, and visible strokes, often painting outdoors (en plein air). Impressionism rejected historical and mythological subjects in favor of everyday scenes—city streets, cafés, landscapes, and leisure activities. By emphasizing subjective visual perception over precise representation, Impressionism challenged academic rules and laid the foundation for later modern art movements such as Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism. aFine Arts 2ddc 00102ddc406709_034400000000000_TAY7097583aLPLbLPLd2026-01-19l0o709.0344 TAYp2537r2026-01-19 12:52:06tC.1w2026-01-19yBK 00102ddc406709_034400000000000_TAY7097662aLPLbLPLd2026-01-19l0o709.0344 TAYp3532r2026-01-19 12:52:06tC.2w2026-01-19yBK c6468d6468
