Features: This is a group of people who haven't been favored much by fate. They were born in the same mid-19th-century era, had similar experiences, and fought against the same opposing forces. They, accepted a common fate, just as they accepted the mocking name—"Impressionism"—given to them by outsiders. Their names are Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas, Sisley, etc. This book, vividly portrays their complete thought trajectory and life patterns, and presents to us the artistic blossoms that flourished after their struggles in pain—their smiling tears, their enduring shadows in darkness, their fleeting time, and only their divine light can transcend all.
