Impressionrough

Impressionrough, also known as impressionism, is a style of painting that emerged in France during the 1860s and 1870s. It is characterized by its emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, often giving the effect of a fluid, ephemeral quality. Impressionist artists sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and color, rather than the precise details of objects. This approach allowed them to create a sense of atmosphere and movement in their paintings.

The term "impressionism" was coined by the art critic Louis Leroy in 1874, after he saw a group of Impressionist artists painting outdoors at a park in Paris. The movement was initially criticized for its lack of detail and for its unconventional techniques, such as the use of visible brush strokes and the blending of colors on the canvas. However, it soon gained acceptance and influence, inspiring many artists and movements that followed.

Some of the most famous Impressionist artists include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and Edgar Degas. Their works often depicted everyday scenes, such as landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits, but with a unique perspective that emphasized the effects of light and color. Impressionism had a significant impact on the development of modern art, influencing many subsequent movements and styles.
