The so-called Impressionists, a group drawing its name from Claude Monet’s 1872 painting, Impression, Sunrise, and led by Claude Monet, Pierre August Renoir, Camille Pissaro, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas and Paul Cézanne, among many others, take the art world by storm.
The French school abandons traditional linear representation; the painters’ main concern is the use of small dashes and strokes of color to reflect the effects of light and atmosphere.
