Detailed Description

In the late 1800s, a group of artists in France began painting in a new style that came to be known as Impressionism. These artists were interested in capturing the momentary effects of light and color, rather than painting detailed, realistic scenes. Some of the most famous Impressionist painters include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro. One of the best-known paintings in the Impressionist style is Monet’s “Impression, Sunrise.” This painting captures the momentary effects of light as the sun rises over the harbor of Le Havre. The painting is filled with soft, blurry colors, which creates an overall impression of the scene, rather than a realistic depiction of it. Other famous Impressionist paintings include Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party” and Pissarro’s “Boulevard des Italiens, Morning Sunshine.” These paintings, like “Impression, Sunrise,” capture the effects of light and color in a way that is more concerned with overall impression than with realistic detail. If you’re interested in seeing more Impressionist paintings, you can visit the Musee d’Orsay in Paris, which has one of the largest collections of Impressionist art in the world. Or, you can visit the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, which has a large collection of Impressionist paintings, as well as other works of art from the late 1800s.
