What is impressionism?

Impressionism is an important art school that was born in Europe in the middle and late19th century. It started with painting, and then spread to literature, film, photography, music and other artistic fields, which is of great significance to the modernization and life of European art. The main members are Monet, pissarro, Manet, Renoir, Degas and others. Impressionism began with Monet's Impression of Sunrise. Among them, Renoir is famous for his dazzling body art paintings.

The most important feature of impressionist painting is to capture a person's subjective feelings and instant feelings with a brush, pursue the light and shadow effect and colorful expression in the picture, and pay little attention to details. Inspired by optics, painters are keen to create dreamy, blurred and hazy feelings in the picture.
