Impressionism is one of the most famous and popular trends in art, which arose in the second half of the XIX century. This style of art is characterized by special freedom and originality in its approach to depicting the world.
The main idea of Impressionism is to convey the artist's instant impressions and emotions. Impressionist artists sought to capture the moments of life, natural lighting, atmosphere and mood. They did not strive for precise detail, but concentrated on the transmission of color, light and movement.
The main characteristics of Impressionism in painting include bright colors, light shades, brush strokes that give the impression of incompleteness and dynamics. The artists often worked outdoors to capture the changing conditions of light and shadow.
Famous Impressionist artists include such masters as Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet and others. Their works often depict landscapes, scenes from everyday life, flowers and portraits.
