Impressionism was an art movement of the 19th century that began in Paris. It is characterized by a light color scheme and noticeable brushstrokes. Impressionist painters focused more on the feeling of a picture rather than details. If you were to look closely at an impressionistic painting it would look more like thousands of random brushstrokes all across the canvas. But once you step back all the strokes come together and make a beautiful piece of art. The most famous impressionist artist was Claude Monet. Other famous impressionists included: Edouard Manet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Vango and Mary Cassatt. This new style also spread to music and literature.
