Impressionism is not only a painting style, but a philosophy of life, the search for beauty in every, even the most banal moment. The artists of this movement, with Monet, Renoir, Degas and Pissarro at the forefront, rejected academic conventions and began to paint what they really saw - fleeting light effects, shimmering colors, dynamic scenes from everyday life. Their paintings, initially rejected by critics, gradually became a symbol of modernity and a new vision of the world.

In this book you will find not only detailed descriptions of the most important Impressionist works, but also a rich historical and cultural context that will allow you to better understand the phenomenon of this movement. You will learn what events influenced the artists, what ideas inspired them and what techniques they used to achieve such extraordinary visual effects.
