Original Impressionistic Paintings For Sale
The story of any movement starts with a rebellious group whose work isn’t accepted and which, therefore, rebels against the status quo. Impressionists were no exception. In the late nineteenth century, a group of artists began creating a new style, aiming to give an impression of scenes from everyday life rather than depict reality as it is. They pioneered the practice of painting outdoors, working in plain air, capturing the immediacy of the moment, spontaneity, and authenticity of life.
Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro were the founders of impressionist art. They emphasised the authenticity of emotions and sensations rather than the exact representation of reality, seeking to depict the nuances of individual sensory experiences created by the same subjects.
The movement’s name originated from Monet’s artwork, "Impression, Sunrise," exhibited independently in Paris in 1874. Its loose and visible brushwork, luminous colours, and depiction of an ordinary sunrise scene became iconic for the impressionist style.
The Beauty of Impressionistic Paintings
Impressionistic paintings play with light and shadows, often portraying fleeting moments of life and nature. Edgar Degas encapsulated this aspect with his depictions of ballet dancers, showcasing their beauty and motion within the impressionistic style.
