French Impressionists captured the fleeting wonders of everyday life, a radical departure from the estab­lished academic painting that dominated the Parisian art world at the time. Meticulous attention to color and light, along with their characteristic brushstrokes, allowed these painters to produce works of art that encourage us to reimagine how we see the world. The four Impressionists featured here—Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas—are among the best known and most impactful of the movement.
