French Art History

Impressionism was a radical art movement centered primarily around Parisian painters. Impressionists rebelled against classical subject matters and embraced modernity, wishing to create works that reflected the world in which they lived. Claude Monet’s Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise) exhibited in 1874, gave the Impressionist movement its name when the critic Louis Leroy accused it of being an “impression,” not a finished painting. It demonstrates the techniques many of these independent artists adopted: short, broken brushstrokes that barely convey forms, pure unblended colors, and an emphasis on the effects of light. Impressionism has since been embraced as one of the most popular and influential art movements in Western history.
