Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the style is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work. Impressionists abandoned the conventional idea that the shadow of an object was made up from its colour with some brown or black added. Instead, they enriched their colours with the idea that the shadow of an object is broken up with dashes of its complementary colour. For example, in an Impressionist painting, the shadow of an orange may have some strokes of blue painted into it to increase its vitality. The Impressionists sought to capture the atmosphere of a particular time of day or the effects of different weather conditions on the landscape. In order to capture these fleeting effects, they had to work quickly. They applied their paint in small brightly coloured strokes, which meant sacrificing much of the outline and detail of their subject. The most important concept of impressionism is that the paintings express certain momentary effects of different weather conditions on the landscape, rather than an instant view. In other words, Impressionist paintings combine the paintings of landscapes at different times into one piece to express what they experience of the nature in front of them in that minute or in those hours or in that season. As a result of this, the development of impressionism can be considered as a reaction by artists to the challenge presented
