About the artwork

Old shop front in a French village from the era of the French Impressionists.

The French Impressionist painters were a group of artists active in the late 19th century. They were known for their unique style of painting, focusing on capturing the instantaneous and the effects of light and colour in their works. Some well-known French Impressionist painters are:

Claude Monet: Monet is considered one of the founding fathers of impressionism. His paintings of landscapes, water lilies and gardens have become iconic for the movement.

Edgar Degas: Degas was best known for his paintings of dancers, horse races and everyday scenes of Parisian life. His use of light and composition was highly innovative.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Renoir is known for his lively portraits and paintings of everyday scenes, often with a warm and soft colour palette.

Camille Pissarro: Pissarro was an important figure within the Impressionist movement and mainly painted landscapes and peasant markets.

Berthe Morisot: Morisot was one of the few female Impressionist painters. She was known for her intimate portraits and her ability to capture the everyday moments of life.

These artists experimented with new techniques, such as painting outdoors (en plein air), using short brushstrokes and using unusual compositions, resulting in works that represented a strong break with the traditional art of the time. Their contributions have had a lasting impact on the art world.
