The main source of impressionist artistic style

Among many schools of painting, impressionism in western oil painting has always been respected by westerners. Impressionism originated in France and Monet was its founder. Impressionism, as an important school of oil painting, originated from a painting by French painter Monet.

1874, in the studio of Paris photographer Nadal, two artists saw a painting by Monet called Sunrise Impression and called it Impression. Since then, "Impressionism" has been used to refer to a group of young painters who broke through the traditional painting methods. In the same year, these young painters held the first "Impressionist" exhibition. Traditional oil painting is different from impressionist painting.

Traditional painting adopts classical painting. Sketch first, then sketch, then draw the manuscript, and then color it. The whole painting is carefully polished, smooth, shiny and without brush strokes.

Impressionist painting is completely different. The painter of this school thinks that whether the outline is drawn clearly and completely depends on the contrast of light, and it should be painted directly on the canvas with pigments, so that the strokes of the picture are clearly visible, dynamic and energetic, and the picture is light and thick. In terms of subject matter, Impressionism also broke the limitations of previous myths, bibles, wars, etc., and used a lot of pen and ink to describe scenery.

Impressionist masterpiece:

Monet's Impression of Sunrise, Manet's Lunch on the Grass, Olympia, Renoir's Balcony, Van Gogh's Potato Eater, Seurat's On the Beach, Lautreck's Sally You Ke at Moulin Rouge, etc.
