Description

This virtual album contains images of paintings created by famous artists from the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, meaning those that have Impressionism as a reference point. Of course, it does not aim to cover the entirety of the works from this period, but rather to provide a journey that serves as an introduction to the topic, so that the reader retains a visual overview of the movement and its main representatives.

The Impressionist movement emerged in the late 19th century as a revolutionary artistic response to academic traditions. Inspired by light, color, and the fleeting nature of everyday life, Impressionist painters sought to capture the essence of a moment rather than its precise details. Their works, often painted outdoors (en plein air), broke from rigid techniques, embracing rapid, visible brushstrokes and vibrant, dynamic compositions.
