Impressionism

Impressionism is a style or movement in painting/literature originating in France in the 1860s, characterized by showing the visual impression of the moment, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and sound/colour.

The impressionist painters denied both the precise academic style and the emotional concerns of Romanticism, and their interest in objective representation, especially of fresco/landscape, was influenced by early photography.
