This is a movement in visual art that emerged in the second half of the 19th century, aiming to convey fleeting impressions, play of light and color, and the atmosphere of the moment. Impressionist artists use free, light brushstrokes, bright colors, and focus on the changing nature of the outdoors or city life, often working en plein air. The main emphasis is not on detailed elaboration, but on the emotional and visual perception of the scene.
