Impressionism

Impressionism focuses on communicating the way light and color shift in a setting, rather than emphasizing a subject’s form. Beloved by artists and art collectors alike, the raison d’être of Impressionism is to capture a feeling or experience. It emerged in France in the 1860s and quickly became the favorite style of many artists. Famous Impressionists include Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Degas.
