Impressionism is an art that was fighting to be popular in the past centuries, but it became most popular during the 19th century. Impressionist prints were unique from the form of artistry that was accepted by most people. This is because it was very conspicuous and the paintings objectively and accurately recorded visual reality using transient effects such as lights and colors making this kind of art to be very popular today.

These paintings were revolutionary during their time, and they deviated from classic and fantastical scenes. They portrayed real life by use of broken brushstrokes designs that emphasized the general look of a scene or place. Although it is popular today, this form of art struggled to get to its feet in the past centuries.

During those days, many artists that had embraced impressionism artistry had their work rejected for exhibitions by most artistic bodies because they differed so much from the classically-accepted form of art. After they were rejected, they decided to form their exhibition where they showcased their work, but the locals did not very well receive the exhibition.

After some years, one renowned artiste came up with a unique painting which he named impression. He then later began a movement and named it the impressionism which was meant to empower painters. It was however unfortunate that the public badly received the movement, but after several years, they started to embrace the new form of artistry in the society.

Since many people were now accepting the movement, it started growing at a very high rate. An association was then formed to help the artists to showcase their works independently. 3,500 people attended the show in which 30 artistes showcased 165 paintings. Although there are painters who later decided not to take part in the exhibitions anymore, the ones who remained continued with the art.

As years passed by, this form of art was now widely accepted by the public as it impressed so many people. In fact, this kind of art became so influential in such a way that it redefined the way people expressed themselves through art. This encouraged many more painters to come up and showcase their works without fear of ridicule from the public.

People were at first being shocked by this form of painting because of the use of bright colors because most were accustomed to the more sober colors used for art. More so, most of the impressionism painters chose not to use thick golden colors that the classical painters used to tone the drawings they made. Also, these painters preferred more vivid paints to make the pictures appear bright.

Most of the drawings captured modernity such as suburbs and even some rural settings. Some painters focused on the day to day life of these villagers while others focused on urban settings. Landscapes were also prominent figures in these drawings, but the painters who focused more on modernization included railways and factories.
