Features: Due to the first exhibition of works by a group of young artists, the Paris art scene of the 19th century was stirred. The painters known as "Impressionists" revolutionized traditional painting by depicting contemporary life and portraying the natural landscape in new ways. The Impressionist painters stirred controversy with their unconventional painting methods and styles, as well as their diverse lifestyles in Parisian cafes and the French countryside. This book provides a detailed description of their stories and masterpieces, including their private lives, interactions with one another, and how they challenged the conservative traditional art world and official organizations of the time. The book also analyzes the techniques of each painter and how they observed their subjects from fresh perspectives, delving into the works and artistic careers of Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, Pissarro, Sisley, Morisot, Cassatt, Giorgio, and Carle Vernet.
