As the influence of Impressionism spread beyond France, artists, too numerous to list, became identified as practitioners of the new style. Some of the more important examples are:Impressionism: Paintings collected by European Museums (1999) was an art exhibition co-organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, the Seattle Art Museum, and the Denver Art Museum, touring from May through December 1999. Online guided tour Renoir was considered the other leader of the Impressionist movement. He shared Monet’s interests but often preferred to capture artificial light in places like dance halls and directed his studies of the effects of light on figures, particularly the female form, rather than scenery, and he frequently focused on portraiture. Professor Frances Fowle, Senior Curator of French Art at the National Galleries of Scotland, said: “The Impressionist era is one of the most compelling periods in art history. It gave rise to a host of artists who are now considered among the very best, despite being largely dismissed by the establishment of their time. In the early 1860s, four young painters— Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille—met while studying under the academic artist Charles Gleyre. They discovered that they shared an interest in painting landscape and contemporary life rather than historical or mythological scenes. Following a practice—pioneered by artists such as the Englishman John Constable— [5] that had become increasingly popular by mid-century, they often ventured into the countryside together to paint in the open air. [6] Their purpose was not to make sketches to be developed into carefully finished works in the studio, as was the usual custom, but to complete their paintings out-of-doors. [7] By painting in sunlight directly from nature, and making bold use of the vivid synthetic pigments that had become available since the beginning of the century, they began to develop a lighter and brighter manner of painting that extended further the Realism of Gustave Courbet and the Barbizon school. A favourite meeting place for the artists was the Café Guerbois on Avenue de Clichy in Paris, where the discussions were often led by Édouard Manet, whom the younger artists greatly admired. They were soon joined by Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, and Armand Guillaumin. [8] Édouard Manet, The Luncheon on the Grass ( Le déjeuner sur l'herbe), 1863

His protégé Mary Cassatt, an American living in Paris, was one of the major female artists prominent in the movement. Like Renoir, she was interested in portraying people and is best known for her images of women and girls in private moments, best exemplified in her 1880 painting Girl Sewing. Among the exhibition highlights will be several of NGS’s world-class holdings, such as Gauguin’s Vision of the Sermon and Degas’s Portrait of Diego Martelli, as well as pre-Impressionist masterpieces such as Pissarro’s The Marne at Chennevières. Varnedoe, J. Kirk T. The Artifice of Candor: Impressionism and Photography Reconsidered, Art in America 68, January 1980, pp. 66–78 An offshoot of Impressionism, Pointillism, otherwise known as Neo-Impressionism, was born in 1886 when Georges Seurat displayed his Sunday Afternoon On The Island of La Grande Jatte and declared the original movement out of date. Written by Professor Fowle, one of the foremost experts in the field, it explores these artistic movements in the context of the history of collecting.In paintings made en plein air (outdoors), shadows are boldly painted with the blue of the sky as it is reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of freshness previously not represented in painting. (Blue shadows on snow inspired the technique.)

Impressionism rose initially as a painterly style, but gradually expanded to include sculpture. Degas is highly regarded for his Impressionist sculptures as are the French sculptor Auguste Rodin and Italian artist Medardo Rosso, who explored energised, spontaneous surfaces and the fragmentation or dissolution of form.

In 2022 Frances curated the National Galleries of Scotland's main summer exhibition, A Taste for Impressionism: Modern French Art from Millet to Matisse at the Royal Scottish Academy. The accompanying book, The Impressionist Era: The Story of Scotland's French Masterpieces was published in October 2021.French Realist painter Edouard Manet was an older mentor to the Impressionists. He rejected the single vanishing point in favour of 'natural perspective'and his unconventional subject matter subverted classical subjects. Other precursors to the Impressionists were the Barbizon School, who favoured landscape painting en plein air, English painters JMW Turner and John Constable, and French painters Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Gustave Courbet, who captured the fleeting visual effects of light and the weather. Monet was a leader of the movement, and his brief brush strokes and fragmented color application found their way into the works of others. Kleiner, Fred S., and Helen Gardner (2014).

The Impressionists' progress toward a brighter style of painting was gradual. During the 1860s, Monet and Renoir sometimes painted on canvases prepared with the traditional red-brown or grey ground. [26] By the 1870s, Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro usually chose to paint on grounds of a lighter grey or beige colour, which functioned as a middle tone in the finished painting. [26] By the 1880s, some of the Impressionists had come to prefer white or slightly off-white grounds, and no longer allowed the ground colour a significant role in the finished painting.

While many viewers came only to laugh, the Salon des Refusés drew attention to the existence of a new tendency in art and attracted more visitors than the regular Salon.
