Painting Of The Western World Impressionism

Impressionism revolutionized Western art by capturing light and momentary perception rather than precise detail. Emerging in 1870s France, this movement emphasized loose brushwork, vibrant color palettes, and outdoor painting to convey atmosphere and emotion. Masters like Monet, Renoir, and Degas challenged academic traditions, focusing on everyday scenes—water lilies, haystacks, ballet dancers—rendered with luminous immediacy. Their innovative techniques influenced modern art profoundly, establishing color theory and subjective vision as central to artistic expression. This pivotal movement remains essential to understanding contemporary visual culture and the evolution of Western painting.
