Impressionism 1860 - 1910

In the 1860s, a revolutionary style of painting emerged in Paris that fundamentally challenged the artistic conventions of the time. Impressionist artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas shifted their focus to capturing fleeting moments, emphasizing the effects of light, atmosphere, and modern life. Their works depicted scenes of everyday life, landscapes, and urban settings, often painted en plein air to convey immediacy and spontaneity. This movement not only transformed the art world but also paved the way for future developments in modern art.
