Impressionism
A movement in painting that flourished in the mid- to late-nineteenth century in france, characterised by its practitioners' interest in recording the visual aspects of things under different conditions of atmosphere and lighting, and marked often by a visibly gestural handling of media and liberal use of bright and contrasting color. Key figures include camille pisarro, edgar degas, claude monet, and pierre renoir.
