IMPRESSIONISM
 

 

 Impressionism began in Paris in the 1870s and 1880s. The characteristics of this style are: visible brush strokes, emphasis on light, and ordinary subject matter. This movement also includes music and literature.

 

The name of the movement was derived from the title of a Claude Monet work - Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant).

Not to be confused with Édouard Manet - another painter of the same era. Claude Monet  was a founder of impressionism. The term Impressionism was derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.

A view of the dark blue sky night sky, with a dark green treetop in the left foreground and the tops of village buildings in the distance, and hills in the far distance. In the upper right is a yellow half moon surrounded by a halo of light. In the sky are many bright stars large and small, each surrounded by intense swirling halos, across the center is a large group of swirls comet-like, and a large star swirling in a vortex with a trail of white swirls surrounding it.

 Museum of Modern Art,

The top of the painting is a dark blue night sky with many bright stars shining brightly surrounded by white halos. Along the distant horizon are houses and buildings with lights that are shining so brightly that they are casting yellow reflections on the dark blue river below. The bottom half of the picture is the Rhone river with reflected lights showing throughout the river. In the foreground we can see a shallow wave.

An early night sky with an intense large yellow star surrounded by a white halo to the top left, an intense yellow and red-lined glowing crescent moon to the mid-right top. A large singular dark green Cypress tree painted with impasto and intense upright brushstrokes extends down the middle of the painting, from the top of the canvas to the burnt orange field below, where it grows beside a twisting stream. in the far distant horizon are low blue hills and to the far right is a farmhouse with smoke from the chimney and lights on within. Along the right side of the foreground are two figures walking along on the road and quite a way behind them is a horse drawn buggy also coming down the road.

 A pair of large trees to the left, one so tall it goes out of the top of the picture and mountains in the distance along the horizon. The afternoon sky is painted with bright blue and green swirls with white clouds and a visible daytime crescent moon also surrounded by swirls and halos. The dark green trees to the left are painted with thick impasto brush-strokes and swirls as well as the lighter yellow-green grasses in the foreground below.
An open field of yellow wheat, under swirling and bright white clouds in an afternoon sky. A large cypress tree to the extreme right painted in shades of dark greens with swirling and impastoed brushstrokes. There are several smaller trees to the left and around the cypress tree are more small trees and several haystacks. There are blue-gray hills on the horizon in the background.
Wheat Field with Cypresses, (1889), National Gallery, London
A man walking from left to right in the upper third of a vast field of crops. He is planting seeds with his right arm extended from a seed-bag that he carries over his shoulder. On the horizon to the left, in the distance, is a farmhouse and in the center of the horizon is a giant yellow rising sun surrounded by emanating rays of yellow sunlight.
