AI overview
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that revolutionized painting by focusing on capturing light in its constantly changing qualities and emphasizing visible brushstrokes, ordinary subjects, and movement rather than precise detail. The movement, which emerged through independent exhibitions by Paris-based artists during the 1870s and 1880s, fundamentally changed how artists approached depicting the world around them.
