impressionist paintings
Hazy light-filled canvases
Impressionist paintings are works in the style that emerged in late 19th-century France, characterized by visible brushstrokes, emphasis on light and color, and everyday subjects captured as if in a fleeting moment.
The term comes from Monet's *Impression, Sunrise*.
The museum's impressionist paintings include several Renoirs.
The style prioritizes atmosphere and perception over precise detail.
